LaTeX

This is my dictionary I use for writing notes and doing homework (or...answering piazza posts) with LaTeX. I'm not very good at LaTeX and the stuff I do isn't very involved, but even then I find using steno much more enjoyable than a QWERTY keyboard.

Greek characters

These are written using a fingerspelling system:

Using the asterisk key

For many of these translations, if you were to press the asterisk immediately after writing them, you would screw up a lot of previously written content. Instead, move the cursor to the end of the translation to backspace everything with the asterisk key.
