Setting Up Stenoob Pro 3 in Case CATalyst
⚠️ Important: Case CATalyst requires the keyboard to be in TX Bolt mode.
By default, the Pro 3 starts in Gemini PR mode.
If you haven’t switched yet, follow the steps on the Pro 3: Toggle Protocol page to change to TX Bolt before continuing.
1. Verify the COM Port
Press Windows + X and select Device Manager.
Expand Ports (COM & LPT).
Look for USB Serial Device (COM#).
If multiple ports appear, unplug/replug the keyboard to see which one disappears and reappears.
Note the COM# — you’ll use this in Case CATalyst.
2. Configure Read Setup
In Case CATalyst, go to Tools → All Options → Read/Manage Notes.
In the Read Setup dialog:
Device: Select Baron TX.
Port: Choose the COM# you verified above.
3. Configure Translate Setup
Go to Translate → Options → Realtime (tab).
Under Writer, select Baron TX.
Under COM Port, enter the same COM#.
Click Apply, then OK.
4. Test the Connection
Try reading or connecting to the keyboard.
If everything is set correctly, strokes should register in Case CATalyst.
⚠️ Note: If you also use your Pro 3 with Plover, remember that only one application can access the COM port at a time. Close Plover before connecting to Case CATalyst.
