ADJUSTABLE STENOGRAPHIC KEYBOARD DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ELECTRONICALLY ADJUSTING KEY DEPTH SENSITIVITY

摘要

A stenographic device includes a display, a memory, keys of a stenographic keyboard, each key having a resting position where the key is un-actuated, a depressed position where the key is actuated to register a key stroke, and a range of depression positions therebetween, and a processor communicatively coupled to the display, memory, and the keys. The processor causes the display to graphically show a respective depression indicator of a current one of the depression positions for each of the keys, stores in the memory a respective key-press registration point for each of the keys, the registration point being a depression position located within the range of depression positions and indicating when the respective key is in the actuated state, and causes the display to graphically show a respective registration indicator corresponding to the stored registration point for each of the keys.

主权项

1. A stenographic device comprising:
a plurality of keys making up a standard stenographic keyboard, each key having a resting position in which the key is in an un-actuated state, a depressed position in which the key is in an actuated state where a key stroke is registered, and a range of depression positions between the resting position and the depressed position; a memory; and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and to the plurality of keys, the processor:
for each of the plurality of keys, storing in the memory one of the range of depression positions as a respective key-press registration point;determining whether one or more of the plurality of keys is past the respective key-press registration point for each of the keys depressed; anddetermining whether the one or more keys pressed creates a stenographically recognized key stroke.
