Keyboard Options
The majority of Wave users successfully adjust their keyboard accuracy using the depth of stroke and
the tension control adjustment wheels. Occasionally, when a very short depth of stroke is used or after
adjusting the tension control and depth of stroke, you may continue to experience stacking or splitting.
The Keyboard options allow you to further customize the keystroke interaction to your writing style.
See Keyboard Depth and Tension Controls on page 28 to make keystroke depth and tension
adjustments.
Adjust Keyboard Options
1. Using Case CATalyst or the TrueView utility, review the TrueStroke data for recent jobs to help
diagnose keystroke issues. See TrueView on page 73 for more information.
2. Make adjustments to the keyboard depth of stroke and tension control settings. See Keyboard Depth
and Tension Controls on page 28 for details.
3. Turn on CNN or the equivalent and write against the broadcast for 20 - 30 minutes.
4. If you continue to experience keystroke issues, make further adjustments using the Keyboard
Options. From the Opening Menu, press Setup, More, Keyboard.
5. Perform the adjustments according to the following priority list to ensure optimal keystroke
performance. Use the Up/Down buttons to highlight an option.
a. Keyboard Sensitivity—Adjusts the overall keyboard sensitivity. This may be particularly
necessary when your depth of stroke is very shallow. It is strongly
recommended that you select
the first available setting and assess the change. Turn on CNN or the equivalent and write
against the broadcast for
20 - 30 minutes.
The default setting is Medium. Use the + and - buttons to select one of the following:
• Low—A key or keys show that you do not want in your steno outlines (shadowing).
• High—A key or keys you want are not in your steno outlines (missed or dropped).
b. Split/Stack Adjustment—When you experience splitting steno outlines or multiple steno
outlines becoming one, adjust the Split/Stack Adjustment setting. It is strongly
recommended that
you select the first available setting and assess the change. Turn on CNN or the equivalent and
write against the broadcast for 20 - 30 minutes.
The default setting is Balanced. Use the + and - buttons to select one of the following:
• Less Splitting 1—Multiple steno outlines show in your steno notes that are intended to be
one stroke.
• Less Stacking 1—Single steno outlines show in your steno notes that are intended to be two
strokes.
c. Transition Time—Transition time is the number of milliseconds that pass between the release of
a key stroke and when the Wave recognizes the next key stroke. This can affect the stacking or
splitting of strokes. If you experience stacking or splitting steno notes, adjust the Split/Stack
Adjustment option first
