- downloadable json dictionaries:

|---|---|
| user.json | main Josiah theory |
| greek.json | α β γ |
| stitching.json | s-p-e-l-l-i-n |
- Consistency, shortness, speed, generalisability, extensibility, theory unification
- briefs, guidelines
- some unification of Magnum and Jeff enders
- Understanding of at least one theory e.g. plover, Lapwing, magnum, phoenix, platinum etc.
- A base dictionary (Josiah theory cannot completely replace your theory, yet)
- Jeff phrasing dictionary
SWRAFGTD→I could have gone to
- preinitial schwa plugin and discord. E.g.
^HREBGS→Alex,^PREUBGT→apricot,^HREUS→Alice^RAEU→array - clippy plugin, only suggestions to save strokes, no clutter
- tapey-tape plugin strokes + translations and clippy style suggestions to save strokes
- Josiah, a random stenographer/coder had an insatiable appetite for briefs and methods of shortening writing within the plover Discord.
- Concerned members of the community began questioning Josiah's sanity, and in 23/11/2022, Kaoffie unveiled the hidden meaning behind Josiah's name,
"Josiah" stands for "Just one stroke it all hahahahaha" - To celebrate the 30,000 user.json entries added to Josiah's dictionary after 2 years of steno, Josiah_theory emerged, with the aspiration of becoming a living meme.
- Josiah_theory attempts to combine the best parts of every theory as well as random ideas from the plover discord to make writing as short as possible especially for common phrases and words.
- With this being said, some writing out ideas are shown and is highly recommended at times to avoid hesitation.
- A book is currently being written by Prof to accompany this theory (not publicly available yet).
- There are a bunch of other theories
- Josiah: brief heavy, magnum-style phrases, sort of consistent, some engineering + technical terminology, not intended to be memory intensive (yet).
- Plover: free, somewhat consistent, has medical terminology, not brief heavy derived from StenEd
- Lapwing: consistent, moderate writing out replacement for main.json (plover), not brief heavy.
- Platinum derived from StenEd
- Philadelphia: similar to plover?
- Magnum: brief heavy, lots of phrases
- Phoenix: very consistent, not much emphasis on briefs, emphasis on writing out
- StenEd: similar to plover?
