Is it feasible to make an app for tablet computers that would work like Asetniop but feed into Plover? This would allow steno on a widely-available self-contained device.

I believe this could be possible. However, one issue is that QWERTY keyboards don't repeat, while Steno keyboards do repeat keys. If I may ask, are you a coder yourself?

I am not sure what you mean by "repeat" here - if a key on a QWERTY keyboard is kept pressed it repeats. I am using an Ergodox ATM.
As for coding I dabble occasionally but not on Android.

Hi Yang and Sam,
There actually have been attempts frmo people to try and make touch screen keyboards, although all of the ones I've found are in HTML.
Here's one I have on hand: https://aqwek.github.io/stenobuild/
It doesn't work without a touchscreen, and it is incomplete, but it works. I remember finding another one, I'll get it for you all. This is completely possible, but it would be a hard thing to do.
