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! 🙂

The keyboard on a shorthand machine uses only a few letters from our alphabet. Depending on the “language” taught, combinations of letters can form words, sentences, punctuation, and even whole paragraphs. Because the stenographer is “writing” as the speaker is speaking, it would be impossible on a traditional keyboard.
The keys on the left hand make up prefixes and keys on the right are word endings. Using technology today makes the process much simpler because you can create your own dictionary so rather than writing, “Hi, How are you today?” as it is being said one could write, “STPH-, STPH-, STPH-“. Does that help or make it worse?
