An interesting and fun video about stenography. Even if you’re not a “word person,” I think you’ll find it rather fascinating to learn how the transcribing of words has progressed from “Then” (ancient Greek) until “Now”. (Case in point: courtroom stenographers.)
Disclaimer: There’s a promotion at the end of the video for Amazon’s “Audible”. 🙂
I was going to be a courtroom stenographer at one point.

Why didn’t you pursue it? I think they make a fairly decent income (reportedly around $67,000/year). But based on the video, it seems there would definitely be a learning curve.

Thanks for watching. I know it’s not a topic that pulls people in, but I thought the humor made it interesting.

Hey, because of my past, I enjoyed it. I often wondered what they were doing with so few keys.
I used a few typewriters in my day, they were not used as an example.
I recall a college professor complaining how his high school advisor told him that he would never need to know how to type. 🙂
