Import Your Steno Dictionary: JSON and CSV on the Lesson Surface
Merge licensed outlines into browser storage on Type Faster—Zod validation, caps, and lookup priority without shipping GPL dictionary files.
What you can import
English gloss plus steno keys per entry. JSON and CSV are supported with a per-browser entry cap. Data stays in `localStorage` on your device—we do not upload your dictionary to the server.
Only import content you are licensed to use. Built-in TFBF and chord curriculum remain the default starter set.
Use stroke lookup after lessons, not during them—recall builds faster when you resist peeking at outlines.
Pair timed Steno WPM runs with lesson units so speed gains trace back to outlines you actually know.

Run the same test discussed in this article without leaving the page.
Lookup priority
Curriculum chords win over user entries; user entries win over the authored lexicon. That keeps lesson targets stable while letting you override dictionary-only words you already train with elsewhere.
