Setting Up Stenoob Pro 3 in Eclipse
The Stenoob Pro 3 can connect to Eclipse using the Gemini PR protocol (default) or possibly TX Bolt.
Gemini PR Mode (default): Works with Eclipse by selecting Gemini Revolution as the writer.
TX Bolt Mode: May also work by selecting Gemini TX or Transcriptor X, but this has not yet been confirmed.
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 Eclipse.
2. Configure Eclipse Input Settings
In Eclipse, go to Settings → Input tab.
Under Writer, select:
Gemini Revolution (if your keyboard is in Gemini PR mode — the default), or
Gemini TX / Transcriptor X (if you toggled your keyboard into TX Bolt mode).
Under Read From, choose COM Port.
Click Setup next to COM Port.
Select the COM# you verified above and save.
3. Start Writing
At this time, we do not have direct access to Eclipse to confirm the exact steps for beginning translation. Once input is configured, customers should be able to start writing by opening a realtime session in Eclipse. If you are unsure, we recommend referring to Eclipse documentation or support resources.
Notes
⚠️ Only one program can access the COM port at a time. Close other steno software (such as Plover) before connecting to Eclipse.
