# `plover.suggestions` -- Suggestions

```{py:module} plover.suggestions
```

In many steno theories, there may be multiple ways to stroke a certain word.
By providing the user with suggestions while they are writing, this may help
them learn briefs or otherwise shorter outlines for the same input, which leads
to faster, more fluent writing. This module handles providing suggestions.
