Goals

General Goals

  1. To facilitate the creation of the ultimate steno dictionary by making it easy to rapidly define entries
  2. To create a dictionary comparison script that whittles down gigantic wordlists into non-redundant Bozzy fodder
  3. To hack resplendently through mighty jungles of Python code
