How a Court Reporting Stenography Machine Works

Court reporting student Isabelle Lumsden showed how a stenography machine works. Lumsden explained the concept behind the keys and demonstrated how words are formed. She then transferred the steno copy onto her computer, which translated the rather mysterious language back into English.

Lumsden also likes to challenge viewers to guess the word she’s typing.
