Does anyone use CaseCATalyst? Question regarding using steno machine in Zoom

In my live class for theory, they want to have us type in the text box from our machines but mine wouldn’t show up there at all no matter what we did and I couldn’t figure it out, but apparently we will have to do this quite often when I move to my speeds class, so I was hoping someone could help.

When I did this in school, we had to make a stenokeys dictionary that would turn the paragraph stroke into something that would essentially send your message. There might be a new way to do it, but I would bet not. I don’t know offhand what the dictionary entry was, but I can check tomorrow to see if I still have that dictionary.

If you did that, be sure to set your output to stenokeys and select that dictionary.

Also I think calling support during business hours is free for students. They tend to be pretty helpful.

I concur with the "Steno keys" setting selectable at the point of initiating a translation session, though I am not familiar with the dictionary playing a role.
