Hello Svetlana, I thought that Josh had made a great summary guiding our feedbacks. Through those simple questions, its easier for us to know where to focus our attention when analyzing your wireframe.
Now that you said he didn’t answered your question that confused me.
The questions he did might be answered in your wireframe but are not easily distinguishable as the way he did.
Could you give an example of what kind of feedbacks you are looking for?
And those other questions, you made as items, are to be answered here?

Hello,
I don’t know if I got thinks right here, but that will the first page when people browse for plover right?
Well, I was thinking, if I knew nothing about stenography, and I opened that page, I guess I would be a little frightened.
The frame for me would look like something specific to a niche or a profession and I probably wouldn’t look farer to give it a chance.
Generally I’m not very found of new things, or anything that I’m not familiar with. When people say: “it is very a simple, you only need to open this file, press caps lock, attach the third protocol…” I generally give up before giving them a chance to complete the explanation.
The way I saw, it seamed to me like if the site was ready to go into higher cerebral functions that I hardly would have stamina to accomplish.
Most techniques with lifestyle changing potential have only worked with me when they where given in very smooth doses - one little pill at a time.
I don’t know how that applies to other folks in here. Many in the plover community are programmers and wouldn’t have the same resistance, but with me a very easy introduction generally works better.
Something like:
“Ever wanted to type as fluently as you can speak? Ever felt behind, having tons of pages to type when you could be doing so much more with your life? Ever wanted to chat rapidly with your friends in the free hours?
Than maybe stenotype is what you are looking for. Once you give it a chance you might see it is not as complicated as it seams, and the best part: our program its completely for free.
Stenotype is a system of typing, much faster than the conventional, that you can learn through a series of games that we propose in our site.
The differences from conventional typing are basically two:
- That, instead of pressing a key at a time, spelling e-v-e-r-y letter you write, you press a few at the same time, in a manner, something similar to the speech, where you say syllables instead of e-v-e-r-y letter.
- And instead of typing every key, you learn to shorten them using basically five rules (those you will learn soon progressing in our games).
Unfortunately, as this technique uses a combination of keys pressed at the same time, you will need a keyboard with a special feature called n-key rollover. We will a give you a list of currently manufactured keyboards and machines that can properly work with our software. But before that, why don’t you give it a try with your own keyboard using a method we call “appergiate”.”
Than there would be a demo window for the person to already begin trying it. Than, by that step by step process, when the person was already half way familiar with terms and wasn’t feeling the same resistance as before, he could get to the structuralized page you showed.
I don’t know if what I’m saying is off topic here, but at least that would be the way it could work with me.
After my last lines, I was expecting some comments that could serve as guidance - at least to have an idea of what plovers thought of what I just posted. Since I haven’t received any, I decided to continue the above introduction from where I started, hoping not to be making foul of myself.
Before continue with my feedback, since I think RSI can be equally motivating for starters as fast typing, I would like to add another phrase for the first paragraph I wrote in the other comment:
“Ever wanted to type as fluently as you can speak? Ever felt behind, having tons of pages to type when you could be doing so much more with your life? Ever wanted to chat rapidly with your friends in the free hours? Or ever wondered, after years struggling against endless medical problems, if there could be some way easier on your fingers to interact with your desktop?”
Well, since the user have seen a first glance of stenotype and after trying to apperggiate a few simple words on the demo window, what would be his feelings, and what kind of approach would work better to bring him to the plover community?
I believe that, from the very beginning, he would be suspicious about the “best part: completely for free”. But for the moment, after just trying the demo, I believe he would honestly be curious about stenotype:
- What is stenotype?
- How did they come with this?
- Is it something serious, tested and approved or just another “willing to be” propaganda?
So I thought of some potentially charismatic phrases that could show stenography’s best face (I know they look commercial, but its just to illustrate the idea – and I couldn’t come up with anything better either):
“Stenotype is a established, century old technique used by court reporters all over the world. It is the fastest system of data input known to man. But, unfortunately, due its high prices in machinery and overall equipment, it has been historically restricted to niche market and professional use.
Stenotyping, after decades of development through a system of natural selection - where the fastest court reporters and best theories combined to give the simplest and most intuitive systems for professional verbatim writing – it entered the computer age with, up to now, unexplored potentialities.
Court reporters can type as fast as an average person can speak. We normally don’t realize how fast we can talk. These professionals attain speeds of over 200 words a minute - which is twice faster than some very fast conventional typists.
Those words per minute relation means that they are able to write a thousand words document in only five minutes.
Although these specialized writers attain that level of ability after massive training, it is not that difficult, not that hard at all, to get to somewhere in the middle of that capability. For instance, if you get to “only” half that speed, which you can expect after some months of training, you will already be typing faster than most people you have ever known”.
After an introduction to stenotype, I imagine it would be a good moment to explain what plover is, what stands for its goals, why is it an open source, and what are the motivations from people behind the project. There could be a moment to answer questions like:
- What was the previous life story of Mirabai that gradually led her into a journey for popularizing stenotype?
- Who’s the programmer who actually made the system and, naturally, by whom is it being running?
- What kind of professionals or contributors participate in the project?
Notice that all of the above shouldn’t take long to get to the main page. In the main page, which would be this organized wireframe, the user could choose to where he would want to go. I think he should come to that page already prepared for the choices the site has to offer and not having to understand what it is.
