All the key codes that make up each quick code cannot be pressed simultaneously with one keystroke with one hand, instead of hitting each key in sequence like a standard keyboard. This is the "multi-key simultaneous tapping" principle of the Chinese stenorecorder, which is also the basis for its unique fingering characteristics and high-speed tapping.
(1) Multi-key tapping method
1. Tap two keys simultaneously with one finger
Use one finger to tap two key codes at the same time Methods such as "AO" and "XB" are all clicked with one finger.
2. Use multiple fingers to hit multiple keys simultaneously
There are several ways to use multiple fingers to hit multiple key codes at the same time:
(1) Finger tapping
Several adjacent fingers tap adjacent key codes at the same time, such as "IN", etc.
(2) Cross-finger tapping
Fingers that are not adjacent to each other tap the corresponding key code at the same time, such as "DIA", etc.
(3) Flat keystrokes
Multi-finger keystrokes in the same row, such as "DIAN", "ZUEO", etc.
3. Hit with both hands
Tap a quick code with both hands at the same time, such as "A: BA" (Abba), "DI: GAO" (script) They are all hit with both hands (the ":" between the key codes is not a "colon", but a "boundary code mark". The code on the left of ":" is hit by the left hand, and the code on the right of ":" is hit by the right hand. Type. On the LCD screen of the Chinese speed recorder, ":" is represented by two spaces).
(2) The function of multiple keystrokes
1. Improve the efficiency of keystrokes
The standard keyboard can only hit one key at a time to add one syllable It can be completely entered with just two keys. To enter Chinese syllables at a speed of 120 characters per minute, 240 keystrokes are required per minute and 4 keystrokes per second. This is no longer easy for ordinary people to achieve; Moreover, the fingers are easily fatigued and cannot work for long periods of time.
The Chinese stenorecorder adopts a multi-key tapping method. Two syllable codes can be entered by tapping with both hands at once. With only 2 keystrokes per second, you can easily record 240 words per minute. The speed of typing Chinese syllables has been increased by 2 times, while the work intensity has been reduced by 1/2, and the keystroke efficiency has increased by 4 times!
What’s even more valuable is that this improvement in efficiency can theoretically be accomplished by everyone, because physically speaking, everyone can do two keystrokes per second. . Even with only one keystroke per second, it can record syllable codes at a speed of 120 words per minute, which is quite practical.
2. Develop the human brain
As the saying goes: "One mind cannot do two things", which means that the human brain cannot control the human organs to do different jobs at the same time. In fact, this is just an illusion. "It's not impossible, but it's not possible." As long as necessary training is carried out, one mind can not only "do two things", but also "multiple uses". For example, when riding a bicycle, your eyes need to observe the road, pedestrians, other vehicles, and traffic lights, your hands need to move toward the handlebars to control the direction, your feet need to keep pedaling, and your ears need to enjoy radio programs, and you may be thinking about other things. ...; Another example is two-handed calligraphy, where both hands can write different words at the same time; and playing the piano, both hands must not only play the piano accurately, but also master the appropriate strength, rhythm, and maintain coherence, etc. These examples fully prove that the human brain is fully capable of "multitasking" as needed. Of course, if you want to "dual-purpose" easily and freely, you can't do it without special training. No one is born with the ability to ride a bicycle. Calligraphy with both hands and playing the piano require long-term and rigorous training.
The multi-key tapping of the Chinese steno recorder is just like playing the piano, but it is relatively easy, because playing the piano not only requires accurate playing, but also conveys the emotion of the music to the audience, but the Chinese steno recorder There is no problem of emotional transmission, it is just required to hit it accurately and be careful not to use too much force.
Generally speaking, you may not be used to it when you first start practicing. This is because the brain's control ability has not been fully exerted. As long as you persist, you will be able to perform simultaneous strikes with both hands more freely.
Moreover, continuous double-handed striking can, in turn, further train and develop the brain. It has been scientifically proven that if the left and right brain hemispheres of a person can work together, their abilities will be much stronger than when they work alone. Many aspects of active thinking, quick reflection, rich associations, and strong creativity control the left and right hands to hit key codes respectively. On the other hand, it is necessary to control the coordinated movement of both hands and press the keys at the same time. This is forcing the left and right hemispheres of the brain to work together. Over time, the left and right hemispheres of the brain will become accustomed to working together, and not only will they be able to operate the Chinese stenorecorder skillfully, but their thinking skills will also be improved.
