I decided to start with internalizing the steno key layout, because it's quite different from qwerty.
For that I've made another layer, basically like for Steno machine, but with regular qwerty keycodes:

Code:
[8] = {

  {KC_1,  KC_2,  KC_3,  KC_4,  KC_5,    KC_6,    KC_7,  KC_8,  KC_9,  _______,  _______},

  {KC_S,  KC_T,  KC_P,  KC_H,  KC_ASTR, KC_ASTR, KC_F,  KC_P,  KC_L,  KC_T,  KC_D},

  {KC_S,  KC_K,  KC_W,  KC_R,  KC_ASTR, KC_ASTR, KC_R,  KC_B,  KC_G,  KC_S,  KC_Z},

  {_______, _______, _______,  KC_A,    KC_O,    KC_E,  KC_U,  _______,   _______, _______, _______}

},

And I've made a script to practice an existing in steno keys:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

runs=$1

for i in `seq $runs`; do

        < /dev/urandom tr -dc STKPWH*FRBLGDZAOEU | head -c80;echo;

        echo '';

        echo '';

done

Then I just create a practice text file:
steno.sh 8 > practice1.txt
Open practice1.txt in vim, set my cursor on a blank line, and trying to repeat what I see above.

Do you have a NKRO keyboard?
You can test it here:

If you do, you can try it even if it's just a staggered qwerty keyboard, maybe it will hook you up in the end.
