all about the steno machine! (EPISODE 2 of court reporting series)

[@lwanek]

i don’t even understand how you can even hear the words that fast let alone type them. thats amazing.

[@AlexMartin-k4x]

I have really enjoyed the first two episodes! I have found them very educational, as I am currently contemplating a career in court reporting. Can't wait for more episodes in your court reporting series.

[@thechloesalazar]

Thank you so much! And good luck to you and your journey. Let me know if there’s anything you want to see 😊

[@bohemianqueen_]

Same here! I want to make sure I'm making the right moves into this career so thank you Chloe for making this series! I live in a state where schooling is not required so it seems like a vast ocean at this point.

[@waitfield]

Thank you for the video!! I loved watching you write. Steno really needs to be talked about more. Now there is quite a hobbyist scene for steno because of the Plover software. It lowers the barrier to entry so so much.

[@donufro]

How long does it take to commit all of this to muscle memory? It's like learning a different language and translating in real time, while also playing the piano. Pretty incredible!

[@valeriecortez103]

i love this series i start school next month you are making me want to record my journey!

[@thechloesalazar]

Yay so exciting! 🤗

Hi Ms. Salazar, I just want to tell you what a blessing your videos have been for me. I had an accident a few years ago, fell down the stairs and ended up with brain trauma that left me unable to use my eyes properly. Healing has been a slow process but the worst part was how few job options they offered me as a possibility going forward. I just couldn’t accept struggling through with minimum wage forever as an answer and through much searching came across your wonderful series. You’ve given me hope for a great job I can do with confidence and a bright future once again. I’m already starting to stash away money to get a steno machine of my own and I can’t wait for the day to arrive! Thank you again and wishing you all the very best! -May Hill

[@thechloesalazar]

Wow!! What a story. Thank you for sharing. I am so excited for you to go on this journey! You won’t regret it 🫶🏼

[@richardwilliamsmusic]

That is NUTS! Now that you know how to do this, do you type in steno in your daily life like with emails or anything like that ? I wish I had this skill because it's like a key to the fastest possible way to type.

[@amarieambroise161]

I would love to see more court and steno videos

[@_skud]

I really enjoy the personal dictionary aspect. As I work I can build a library of briefs. Very interesting and I would definitely nerd out over that alone. Thanks for the video

[@babybear9485]

I am a steno student in India.. We still practice the old method of writing strokes in a paper...It was absolutely cool to see you typing😍.. Love for Steno will never end

[@lilymohsye]

I really appreciate this series!

[@thechloesalazar]

Thank you!!!!

[@Dice_Box]

Watching you type -FPLT amused me. Like it was the default action you didn't think about, you just did it. What theory did you learn (My own uses -FPLT as well) and have you had any experience looking into Plover and how do you feel about it opening the door to amateurs learning Steno on basic hardware and with open source software/theories?

[@ihtesham_emon]

Wow! The idea of stenography machine blows my mind! Thanks a lot for sharing the experience, try showing the actual documents after typing to just give an idea of how it looks.

[@JurorNo13]

So after you graduate you have to own your own machine I assume but when you are employed you have to use your own machine as well or do courts provide any?

[@pamelakilgore7836]

[@thebluedot4728]

what are the 6 buttons at the top

[@angelaservi759]

What are your thoughts on voice recording or digital recording vs steno? Are they both in as much demand or not as much as steno? I am looking at steno as a second (later in life) career but concerned with the time it will take to get through the schooling. Thanks!

[@Lillx__]

Is there a way on the machine to erase if you make any mistakes?

[@royaj1104]

Just came from the first video in the series. Went to your profile and saw you just posted this one! How cool (:

[@thechloesalazar]

Yay! 😊

[@theCranesUS]

Would you say this more like learning an instrument (ex guitar chordss etc)?

[@lamalamalex]

No to worry too much about the camera. So long as the resolution is good we can zoom in on videos now 😊

[@pamelakilgore7836]

You explain well 🎉Pamela in Detroit

[@chelsiebainter1090]

Does it need you up when you sit down to a normal keyboard?

[@courtneym5523]

Do you have any tips on how to finish steno school faster? like not rushing, but avoiding going for like 9 years or something crazy.

[@thechloesalazar]

Yes! Practice. I know that sounds basic, but that’s what I did to get out quickly. Every day after class I did about one to two hours, so nothing crazy, but I did that every day except Sunday. I made sure I put it first! Also practice speeds higher than your class. Always end practice clean so go down speeds again. Hope this helps! Good luck 🫶🏼

[@franchescap.2270]

Any suggestions of where I can get a machine I’m looking to start court reporting soon but they are so expensive 😢

[@thechloesalazar]

I know they are so expensive! Honestly I got my first one from a seasoned reporter who had an extra. So it was used and worked well for me for years! They last a long time. They also have programs for students with machines, depending on where you attend. So either reach out to a current reporter or look inside the programs. Hope that helped!

[@franchescap.2270]

@@thechloesalazar thank you so much. I wish it knew someone but I don’t sadly but I’ll figure it out

[@Dink1963]

Can a CR use headphones? Also I saw them in court w something over their mouth and they speaking words into that microphone, which I assume was typing for them???

[@thebluedot4728]

how heavy is it?

[@briannagil6078]

Hi I appreciate this video so much since I'm starting in August. Do you have any recommendations on a laptop for school as in does it have to have a lot of storage or any specs that would be good to look at when getting one for the court reporting program? Thank you !

[@thechloesalazar]

I wouldn’t worry about it too much starting out! I like the HP brand or Dell, though. A decent amount of storage is always good. Hope that helps and good luck 😊

[@amarieambroise161]

Great video! Confusing.

[@TobennaAgbasi]

I'm interested in typing words!! Teach me sensei

[@amandadaxilxa]

What good Court Reporting Schools are in atlanta georgia?

[@thechloesalazar]

I’m not too sure, as I am in Texas. But you can look up Georgia court reporting associations and see if they have a list

[@mujeeburrahman3352]

I am pakistani and can i learn court reporting online?

[@tsimonson49]

Came here interested and believing I could do this. But after seeing how much there is to know 😅 yeah probably not gonna be me lol

[@thechloesalazar]

@@tsimonson49 you can do it!! It seems insane but anyone who puts their mind to it and practices can do it!

[@ihtesham_emon]

Thanks a lot, and you are really beautiful. ❤

[@michaelb.42112]

This makes zero sense to me, and it proves you are the jazz musicians of the courtroom .❤😂🎉
