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! 🙂

I am an attorney and observe court reporters all the time, and i have asked them to explain it to me. The first important thing to realize is that they don’t type letters. They type phonetically–steno shorthand is basically a syllabary, so each keystroke is essentially one syllable. So they type it phonetically and then go back through later and convert it to English words. They also have shortcuts saved for commonly used phrases.
