TrueView
TrueView is a Diamante utility program that allows you to analyze your steno strokes by viewing the
TrueStroke™ data (Steno X-ray2) generated by the Diamante. TrueStroke data is gathered while writing
on the Diamante and contains information about timing, the direction of travel and the velocity for each
steno key in each steno outline. This allows you to examine a steno outline to determine the cause for a
stroke to register as it did, providing instant feedback on your writing style. For example, you may want
to examine split, stacked, dragged or dropped strokes.
The TrueView Utility permits viewing of TrueStroke data when you are not using Case CATalyst or
another CAT system. You can:
• Write realtime directly to TrueView via a USB connection to your Diamante.
• Read files via a USB connection from your Diamante’s Data SD card.
• Open an existing Diamante file that has been read to your computer or translated.
In Case CATalyst version 10.07 or higher, TrueStroke data is automatically stored in the job subfile,
Steno X-ray2. It is viewable by double clicking a steno stroke from the vertical notes.
