Understanding the TrueStroke Data
TrueStroke data, in Compact view, provides initial information about a keystroke, assisting you in
locating steno outlines you may want to review. For example, you may notice steno outlines in the
TrueStroke data column that contain characters which appear lighter or darker that others in the same
stroke; characters that are higher or lower than others; or you may notice a stroke that contains a
character with a horizontal bar through it,
, indicating a key was pressed but did not register. Double
clicking the steno outline opens Expanded view, providing detailed information about the stroke.
TrueStroke data, in Expanded view, displays each individual character of the keystroke in specific colors
at varying intervals in the keystroke:
•
The light gray color at the beginning of the stroke indicates the key is being pressed down.
When the light gray color continues to display for a key, it indicates a shadowed character that does
not register. In Compact view, a shadowed character displays with a horizontal bar through it.
•
The green color indicates the key has been held down long enough and with sufficient velocity to
register. The brighter the color, the more pressure or velocity occurred when the key was depressed.
In a multi-character steno outline, some keys are visible in the down stroke before other characters.
This indicates that the keys were pressed at different times instead of all together.
•
The soft white color shows when the keys are released and move up.
•
The blue color closely represents when TrueStroke registers all the keys as a complete stroke.
Example 1
The steno outline for the word, “don’t” occurs in the steno notes. Some characters appear lighter and
higher than others. The “U”, displays with horizontal bar indicating it was pressed but did not register.
Double clicking in the TrueView column displays the steno strokes in Expanded view.
The “O” and “P” keys are bright green throughout the stroke, indicating they received consistently strong
pressure on the downstroke. The “B” key receives less pressure as indicated by the lighter green color.
All the intended keys are pressed or released at approximately the same time and are registered as
indicated by the blue color.
