  • I'm confused, what is this?

  • @zeyn10 Stenography.

  • I Would find that hard to do. good job.

  • Audio awful.

  • You stenotype fast! Did you teach yourself to do it or did you attend some class? How long have you been practicing?

  • i want to be this when im older! is itt hard?

  • what theory did you learn? Thank you

  • A year ago in theory, I remember watching this wishing I could do it. Now I finally can :D

  • I'm working on my 100s. I could hardly comprehend that speed. I forgot what she said shortly after she said it... I really hope my fingers will be fast enough.

  • you idiots, he is typing fast!

    its a bit like shorthand, this...you dont actually write an entire word.

    go look it up on wiki before making any further judgements.

    kudos mate

  • I can only hope I reach this level of speed within the next year. Just finished theory and am about to start speed! So nervous!

  • no way this is 200 wpm... it looks very slow... that looks like 110 wpm max..

  • this isnt cool

  • how the hell is this humanly possible...

  • i can honestly type ~115+wpm and have done so in school (on a qwerty keyboard) but i normally breeze around 95wpm w/o thinking. your fingers look like they are hardly moving. is that normal?? before you started steno, what was your WPM at on a qwerty keyboard??

  • dreyna24 you're an idiot. Are you a stenographer? (Wait, clearly you're not or you would know that a lot is two words and not one. But For your information, the asterisk key is used in a lot of different ways. It isn't the period or even close to it. Stenography is like playing a piano, in that you hit a combination of keys to "write" at high speeds. I've been a stenographer for 17 years. Looks like he's really writing to me. This isn't what you see on Law and Order. It's real.

  • what the fuck is he typing? hes barely moving his fingers!

  • wut is that thing your tipeing on

  • @MEGA93M ....stenograph machine.

  • I am in the final steps in school, and am so ready to be done with school. This is one of the hardest things that I have ever done, but I love it and can't wait to get my license. The CSR for me is in LA, and I hear that this is one of the hardest states to pass the CSR in. Lots of my fellow student are at the same speed I am, but are scared and nervous. I so don't feel like that at all. I can't wait! Would love to be in touch with anyone that is a court reporter or anyone in school..

  • @b1princess Hello. I am in my 180s and ready to get this done. Let me know how things go. Good luck!!

  • alossix - wish me luck! I start school next week...

  • this is sooo interesting. i always wanted to see such a machine used in a real situation. i dont think i can even read 200 words a minute. do you think could do a closeup of its keyboard? what sort of keys are on these sort of machines? thanks.

  • It looks like your playing the piano.

  • Was it difficult when you first learned it??

  • When you're recording at this speed, does your mind comprehend each word (or, each sound/syllable) or are you hands just working automatically in response to the sounds you're hearing?

  • @alecjahn you stop thinking about the words and your hands move automatically in response to syllables and sounds. At least, that's how my brain works =)

  • @alossix Yeah, I was trying to repeat every word in my mind just after it was said in the video, but I could only do that for a handful of seconds before the queue started to back up to a 2 then 3 then 4 words. What an interesting skill.

  • @alossix

    I'm a court reporting student in my first theory and when I hear words, I have to comprehend it THEN type it out. Our instructor said our speed is picking up but I don't see it, lol

  • @alossix Hi, I am in school in my 225 wpm. I am three Q&A tests and two b2bs away from taking my CSR which is the TX certification state test. I also want to take my RPR as well. I'm just glad to see someone on here who understand this career. Are you able to work in other countries?

  • @inturn23 as long as you can hear the sound and translate it into words and you have a machine, you can do it either legally or illegally !

    I dont think they have the steno police at the airport, so I think you are OK.

    Just be sure to lay the machine down softly when you set off the alarm with that thing walking through the security check...!

  • @DoshUnScripted lol true. Thanks

  • @alossix you got purty fingers.

  • impressive...I've always wondered how a Stenographer could "type" so quickly...I just looked up the "keyboard" on Wiki, completely different than the traditional qwerty keyboard. Why have the traditional keyboards have not gravitated towards this system…it seems so much more efficient. And then the big question….why don’t we simply voice record in the court room, why does it have to be taken down in ‘shorthand’?

  • @kckcmctcrc: Court Reporters do much more than write down words as they are spoken. They denote speakers, swear in deponents, mark exhibits into the record, transcribe the proceedings into a written record, and KROERT/S (that's court reporters in steno) can stop the proceedings if someone is not speaking loud enough, or speaking over one another. They are the keepers of the record. They ensure legal proceedings are recorded in their entirety so everyone gets their fair shot.

  • @RoMartin1972 hey you taught me a brief for court reporter! thanks! I can't wait till I can type this fast...

  • @alossix so you're saying, you don't really have to understand everything you type? you just react to the sounds?

  • Comment removed

  • Wow- it looks rather bizarre to me, though.

  • The speaker is Cindy Grafton! :D She used to be one of my teachers before I transferred.

  • I am a trained touch typist, so i find this very interesting, thats why i looked it up on YT. Your machine looks different to those used in court rooms (you know, you see clips or shows on TV), they look a lot slimmer with less keys, or are you using an up to date version? ... To me, this is an amazing talent

  • I'm a court reporting student in my first level of theory, I am amazed at how your fingers are moving across the machine. I'm still trying to get used to hitting some letters (such as initial S and initial P together without getting a shadow of initial T). I'm not in speed yet and won't be until the middle of next semester but already I am somewhat nervous!

  • omg I can't the the nction or the nct ending so fast!!!

  • That's really awesome!  I'm only in my 120's, but hope to be in my 225's (of course). Did you ever get stuck in a certain speed? If so, how'd you push through it?

  • afude pacarai.

  • No..the asterisk key can be used for various things, i.e. endings th, ly, or however the reporter wants to use it for writing different words. I happen to know that this guy is well-versed in his talent for being a court reporter. I am just a forum lurker, but I am well aware of his finishing reporting school in just two years...not the norm! It took me 3.5 years. You are a credit to our field. But we have to remember ours is foreign to many so why argue what's unknown to most. @dreyna24 typing?

  • @ChiCSR You must have me confused with someone else. I take pride in my skill, but it took much much longer than it took you to get out of school! =) I took a couple years off....

  • i cant wait to reach this speed!

  • cant wait to reach this speed!

  • Comment removed

  • @dreyna24 Huh? I'm an RPR, which means I am certified to write at 225 words per minute. Check the video again, because I hardly hit the asterisk key.

  • @alossix How fast can you type on a regular keyboard? I'd really like to learn how to use one of those.

  • @dreyna24

    Dreyna...how come youtube is flooded with ignorant idiots like you that think their opinion matters?

    Newsflash to you. According to StenEd theory, the word "filthiness" can have three asterisks. TP*EULT/TH*EU/*PBS. One word can have THREE asterisks! I hope that shut you up.

  • @dreyna24 You're right, he is not typing, he is writing. Typing is different. The asterisk key has many functions in my theory, and is used quite a bit. I wonder how much it is you know about writing on a Steno machine...

  • @dreyna24 You're right, he is not typing, he is writing. Typing is different. The asterisk key has many functions in my theory, and is used quite a bit. I wonder how much it is you know about stenotype...

  • @dreyna24 what a douche...

  • Most definitely sounds faster than 200 and 210! Do you have a lazy finger in any of your strokes? I tend to have an "L" where it doesn't belong. And my initial "s," when needed,is barely visible....a shadow. FYI, for those who don't know, our stenography machine is called a "writer." So what we're doing is "writing" in shorthand, not "typing." ~smile~

  • yeah show what you typed, i'm sure its just a mess.

  • Being a court reporter for nearly 31 years, I really never get to see it from this angle. Something I take for granted does look quite amazing. lol To me, it sounds faster than 200 and 210.

  • Are there any classes I can take to learn how to to use one of these?

  • this rocks I'm learning now and soon I too will be typing 200+ wpm

  • wtf he keeps pressing the same buttons

  • CINDY!!

  • I want to do this!

  • wats going on lol

  • It's so hard to believe that I will be writing at that speed next year. I'm only at about 40 right now.

  • Good job!

  • Weirdly fascinating to watch. And v. impressive.
