Setting Up Stenoob Pro 3 in DigitalCAT
The Stenoob Pro 3 works with DigitalCAT in either Gemini PR (default) or TX Bolt mode. Both protocols are supported — you just need to select the matching option inside DigitalCAT.
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 are listed, unplug and replug the keyboard. The entry that disappears/reappears is your keyboard.
Note the COM# — you’ll need this in DigitalCAT.
2. Configure DigitalCAT
In DigitalCAT, go to Translator → Steno Source.
Under Primary Steno Device, choose one of the following depending on your keyboard’s mode:
Gemini Realtime (if your keyboard is in Gemini PR mode — the default)
Baron Realtime (if your keyboard is toggled into TX Bolt mode)
Set Port 1 to the COM# you verified above.
Click OK to save.
3. Start Writing
Go to Translator → Start Translation.
Begin writing — your strokes should register in DigitalCAT.
Notes
By default, the Pro 3 starts in Gemini PR mode. If you’d like to try TX Bolt, see the Pro 3: Toggle Protocol page for instructions.
⚠️ Only one program can access the COM port at a time. Close other steno software (such as Plover) before connecting to DigitalCAT.
