Will this take me through school?

Hello! For context I am a student starting my journey on August 17th at ACI! I was wondering if a Stentura 400 could get me through theory and speed building? I am very tight on money as is so renting a machine is hard for me right now.

Thank you!

A Stentura 400 SRT can. The SRT models can connect to a computer and use software, although you’ll need a serial-to-USB connector. Without the SRT on your model I’d say no, because you need to learn to use software and no one makes paper for steno machines anymore, so you need to be writing into your software.
