Usage

Once installed, you need to load a dictionary. You can download my dictionaries from this repository. verbatim.yaml is for fingerspelling individual letters. vocabulary.yaml contains some 6 thousand or so affixes, words and phrases. They're in YAML format, so you'll need to either convert them to JSON or install plover-yaml-dictionary from the Plugins Manager.

In Plover, click the big green plus icon to add dictionaries.
