How does an stenographer/stenography works?

2.97K views

I saw some videos and still can’t understand, a lady just type like 5 buttons ans a whole phrase comes out on the screen. Also doesnt make sense at all what I see from the stenographer screen, it is like random letters no in the same line.

EDIT: Im impressed by how complex and interesting stenography is! Thank you for the replies and also thank you very much for the Awards! 🙂

Yes you can type wayyy faster by using a stenography machine. Imagine hitting a bunch of keys for “ladies and gentlemen of the jury” 6 words in less than a second. That’s how we end up typing so fast but then there’s a group of us that type out every single word even at 200wpm.
