[@fabianatrindade56]

Yup. I'm even more confusion now

[@kathryntaylor6080]

Because all of the letters of the alphabet are not on the machine, you do the first half of the word on the left and the last half on the right, then it is spelled phonetically in some cases and spelled out in others. So A, is just A. B is P and W, since there is no B. There is a T, so it's T. So if you're going to write the word bat, you'd press PW, A, and T all at the same time. It's memorization and lots of practice. Basically learning an entire language and definitely takes great skill. On a typewriter, you type one letter at the time, but in steno, you can write an entire word and then there are what are called "briefs" for entire sentences. That way you can move quickly and write an entire sentence someone speaks all in one stroke. Here's the steno alphabet for you: A PW KR TK E is A B C D E. So to write cat, it'd be KRAT all in one stroke. :)

Stenographers are here to stay for the next 50 years unless a major break through is done within the voice recognition realm. For people saying "just use Google Voice": It's no where near as accurate as a human typing, also machines can't tell the differences between what different speakers are talking for citation. Once you start getting into different accents, even slurring words on the stand (such as a simple valley girl voice) voice recognition software starts messing up a lot. Also, just sounds in general that aren't talking might try to be translated, such as a cough or a thud.

[@SunburntHands]

You're right. There's also the trust issue of a readily identifiable, publicly recognised person being given the responsibility of accuracy and integrity in reporting a conversation. A piece of software may be just as accurate, but it's understood that an AI can be technically compromised- it's vitally important that the report be trusted beyond doubt. Further, court stenographers are self-employed, heavily unionised and retain the copyright to their work, which they typically sell the courts the rights to use. It's a huge industry, and jealously guarded by lobbyists.

Stenographer is probably the only multitasking job I could never master. And I was a script supervisor for a show once. You are checking time, making sure the scenes follow continuity, you are watching the scenes on a screen, listening to the scenes, you are following the script to make sure they match, you are timing the scenes, and you are making notes all at the same time. You are always busy doing something. The only break you get is when the director calls for lunch. So that says how gifted you have to be to be a stenographer. Because coming from a script supervisor, producer and scriptwriter? Stenographer requires talent that I don’t have! 😅

Depends. The steno gives you ability to define dictionaries so you can definite a certain word or sentence to a set of keys. It's not a single keystroke but a combination of a bunch. The keys on the steno on the other hand are already defined by nature, but you can define what a set of keystrokes will produce thus making the process pretty efficient and tailored to every user. Learning steno recently just for fun with a custom board I built and Plover for software from my gf who's already a stenographer and it's actually pretty cool, but also a headache

[@Jeremy-gy7me]

The letters are ordered from left to right in a way where you can press a combination of keys at once to make most words. Like with a the letters being arranged in the order STKPWHRAO * EUFRPBLGTSDZ if you press the left T, vowel E and right L key at the same time you would get T E L which means tell, and then press the vowel U and right S you would get U S or us. They also have personalized shortcuts for typing words that don't fit with this order of letters and the letters don't really have a connection with the word itself but aren't used by any other words.

[@CourtReportingServices]

The "i" is made by combining two keys: E/U at the same time. Left side of the machine is the beginning of the word sound. The right side is the ending sound. The vowel sound using that row. Writing syllable sounds, not spelling words. A software on their computer translates the keystrokes into English language. Sometimes they are the same, like S A T. Sometimes they are not: S EU T = SIT.

And yes, they have made inroads in the field. There used to be reporters in federal bankruptcy courts. No longer. They use digital recorders which the clerk has to operate. Does that explain why I did a 50-day trial in federal bankruptcy court in a very high profile matter? Fact is, it's also the human factor. The attorneys asked the Judge's permission to bring in their own reporter, in spite of the recording. The attorneys wanted a transcript of the proceedings within 10 minutes of the morning session breaking for lunch, and within 10 minutes of the afternoon session ending. A rough transcript, but a transcript. Thus far there is nothing in place that can do that other than a reporter. And by the end of the evening they have in hand a final proofread transcript. Each and every day. I recently did an arbitration involving veterinary drugs. There were 10 experts testifying, accents varying from Indian to Japanese and everything in between. What AI software that a law firm can purchase is going to understand that? I had to follow a witness down the hall to ask him what he said in a particular instance. Is a typist provided with the tapes at home going to be able to figure it out? Perhaps. But my transcript was provided that evening, for the attorneys to use that night in preparation of the next day's testimony. As I said elsewhere, in 1976 when I became a reporter I was hearing your mantra: Tape recorders will replace you. And yet, reporters continue to be in such high demand that agencies that "employ" reporters are sponsoring schools and students. What happens in a trial when a jury wants testimony read back while deliberating? Questions to which objections have been sustained are not to be read back. When a reporter is reading back, he/she can see an objection and skip that question. Who is going to go over a tape of hours of testimony and do that instantly? Reporters are also Notary Publics and administer oaths to the witness. Is a "very good" microphone going to do that? Reporters are the officers before whom the deposition is taken, a neutral party.

What I personally do when it's a whole day hearing, I just type on Notepad on a computer since I can type words faster than I can write them in stenography, and besides not only writing is more exhausting if you do it for the entire day, I can also readback better in Notepad whereas I can't understand my steno scribbles anymore once I already wrote a lot. 😅

Going to go back to school again for this next year and it's so crazy to me to think that I could be that fast.

I just learned there is this type of keyboard from youtube rhythm game channel called "tokaku" and it is amazing that I didn't know there is this keyboard since I birth. Also, cheers to those who using this keyboard!

[@JGCSRT]

I watched this and I still don’t have a fucking clue how they do it.

This just solidified my suspicious that They're witches. 🤔🤭

I think I got this video as recommendation because of that SNL's Steno Girl skit 😂😂

[@MitchellWiggs]

why don’t we just digitally record the audio of all trials…

[@roseCatcher_]

Would be problematic for analysis. You'd have to sit and listen to the whole recording to get a minor context later. Also, audio won't contain the speaker identifier, nor mention any document being passed around by speaker.

[@straightpipediesel]

They do in many courts, especially ones handling less serious crimes. And in things like small claims or traffic court, they don't even bother. They still need somebody to transcribe recordings because a jury or an appellate court isn't going to want to sit through hours where the people are umm or ahhhing. They want it in writing so they can easily flip back and forth and look for the specific lines. But that doesn't happen to the whole recording, it's only done when somebody actually appeals and identifies important parts, or the jury wants a specific part read back to them.

[@realeyes8199]

What about an A.I. software which automatically types everything while listening?

[@Nebularban]

@@realeyes8199 because that ai still needs work, it can make lots of mistakes still

[@manweller1]

Wow I feel slow just thinking about it

[@TuberoseKisser]

I think the easiest way to understand stenographing is if you play games that has a lot of abilities but few keybinds, you just combine buttons to make a new keybind.

[@edward8459]

I need this for my college lectures

[@alexs1972]

Ages ago when my mom was in school she learned handwritten stenography, if you ever see her old notebooks from school her notes just look like weird squiggles and dashes but they're entire phrases in just a few characters like these machines

[@evelyndreher7466]

I learned that too and I took proceedings in it.

[@rodericwalter2862]

This is a great video - really explains it well.

Not Being Able To Complete Some Words Woulda Fucked Up My 'But I Gotta!' Mentals. That Way Of Typing Would've Made Me Angrier Than The One On Trial.
