"Steno Arcade" is an abandoned Early Access selection of "educational" minigames intended to teach the nobody who wants to learn how to do Stenography how to do Stenography. Poor quality implementation certainly contributed to this bad idea implemented badly being recieved badly. What do you do in the game? The minigames are all trite little exercises with little to no value as games... this isn't a great way to teach Stenography either. This isn't making Stenography better, it's just making gaming worse. The developers abandoned this 7 years and 7 months ago. It will never be completed. This unfinished game is just polluting Steam and making it harder for gamers to find genuinely, completely made games. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 13 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.

Steno Arcade, steno'nun temellerini sürükleyici, bağımlılık yapıcı, duyarlı ve etkileşimli bir şekilde öğretmek ve geliştirmek için tasarlanmış bir atari oyunları paketidir.
Make an update. It is even hard on very easy to type that fast. What the ♥♥♥♥ dude. More balance.
Караоке пальцами. Если не умеешь быстро печатать на клавиатуре по-английски - даже не суйся. Плюс уже несколько лет Early Access, в котором забили на обещанные ещё 3 режима.
这款游戏其实不是普通的打字游戏,而是针对英文速录(steno)学习者使用的练习软件 之所以速度快,是因为游玩这款游戏需要有特殊英文速录技术,以及特殊的速录软件(plover) 一般来说支持NKRO技术(多按键无冲突)的游戏键盘都可以游玩,有速录机当然更好 学习英文速录可以到open steno project这个开源社区中学习,这款游戏也是社区成员开发的 网址:https://www.openstenoproject.org/
Steno arcade is a fantastic resource, not just for learners, but anyone who's already learned steno and wants to build speed. It's only one game right now, Steno Hero, which is a rhythm game where you try to stroke the song's lyrics as they pass a judgment line. The gameplay sort of like a mix of playing beatmania and singing karaoke. It has a number of included songs, which are not really my style, but they are pretty good either way. In my opinion, the real meat of this game is in the fact that it supports the addition of custom charts, so you can chart your own songs and put them in the game. The tool is called wavelyric, and it's intuitive and easy to learn, so I highly recommend anyone who got sick of the included songs to learn to chart their own. It's a great way to do some steno drills while jamming to music that you enjoy -- and already know the lyrics to. It's not perfect in my opinion, however- I think there is some merit to the reviews complaining it's really meant for people who are already moderately proficient. I think the addition of an option to slow down the song to whatever speed you want would be a really nice quality of life feature, and it would make Steno arcade an even better way to practice. As it is, some of the songs are a little too fast for me, and it seems like the game is lacking an option to slow the speed down to where I'm at. Other than that, I wish there were an option to disable the animation graphics, as they can be a bit distracting, but it's not a big deal. p.s. If anyone is interested in trying some custom charts I made, get in contact with me. I will only respond to profiles where I can see that have played steno arcade, sorry.
Works out of the box on Linux. It is a great piece of software if you want to practice you keyboard writing speed a little bit. However, it is not fleshed out and the library of songs is not very big.
Needs practice mode. A lot of words cut off and the timing is hard. Should be able to get credit if you wrote the correct words. Steno is to make a record, not to type instantaneous to the beat and singing. Give a couple second delay so we can at least hear the words! Until it's updated I will not be recommending
Игра Steno Arcade – это отличный способ весело и увлекательно изучить стенографию или отточить свои навыки. Аркадный формат превращает обучение в игру, мотивируя к прохождению все новых и новых уровней. Простое, но стильное визуальное оформление не отвлекает от процесса, а разнообразные мини-игры помогают усвоить различные аспекты стенографии. Плюсом является хорошо продуманная прогрессия сложности, что делает игру доступной для новичков, и в то же время представляет вызов для опытных стенографистов. Мини-игры разнообразны и направлены на развитие скорости, точности и памяти – ключевых навыков для успешной стенографии. Единственное, чего не хватает, – это более глубокой обратной связи о допущенных ошибках. Хотя игра показывает, где была допущена ошибка, хотелось бы видеть более детальное объяснение, почему именно это было неверно. В целом же, Steno Arcade – это прекрасный и эффективный инструмент для освоения стенографии в игровой форме, который определенно стоит попробовать.
Задумка необычная и полезная, для тех, кто в детстве мечтал стать стенографистом (есть такие?). Но для обывателя как я, с обычной клавиатурой и средним навыком слепой печати на английской раскладке игра слишком сложная. Невозможно набрать все слова, даже на самой лёгкой сложности, я уже молчу про нормальную, поэтому приходится хитрить - пропускать все большие слова и печатать только маленькие, чтобы хоть как-то закончить песню, чтобы толпа не разбежалась в ноль и не наступил ранний game over. Возможно, темп нормальный для стенографической клавиатуры с использующимися там аккордами (когда зажатие нескольких клавиш значит то или иное слово/словосочетание), но в описании к игре отмечено, что её можно также рассматривать и как игру для печатания на обычной клавиатуре, с чем я в корне не согласна - игра для этого НЕ ПОДХОДИТ! Ни для обучения слепой печати, ни для наработки/поддержки навыка, ни даже просто для развлечения. В игру подразумевалось добавить ещё 3 режима, но их до сих пор нет и уверена что не предвидится, т.к. прошло уже почти 10 лет, очередной заброшенный ранний доступ, к сожалению. Из плюсов - приятная забавная музыка, прикольное визуальное оформление. Но сам процесс игры вызывает только боль, обычным игрокам не рекомендую.
