If court stenographers type so efficiently, why hasn’t that become a more standard way of typing?

That is a great question! In my opinion stenotype devices are expensive and tend to be clunky. There are also not enough buttons to accommodate every letter of the alphabet on a stenotype (22 vs 104 on QWERTY). If a layman was to look at a stenographers personal chord library it would most likely look like a foreign language to them. A stenotype device does not have the functionalities required for basic human computer interaction which is what is most commonly used in today’s society. Stenotype devices were not originally designed to work with a personal computer, smartphone or even to run on electricity. However, to be fair this is also true of QWERTY keyboards.
Have you ever heard of CharaChorder? CharaChorder in contrast, is the only device which allows for seamless and instantaneous access to both ‘traditional’ QWERTY style input as well as virtually unlimited chord combinations (>17 Billion) dwarfing any other chorded entry device ever created. Instead of the 1 dimensional buttons that keyboards use, CharaChorder switches detect motion in 3 dimensions so users have access to over 300 unique inputs without their fingers breaking contact with the device. What is far more powerful however, is that users can type entire words in a single motion by pressing all the letters of a word simultaneously. CharaChorder’s internal processor arranges the letters on-screen in real time faster than the human eye can perceive.
