It all started back in 2008 when steno was not a familiar term to people. People were not aware of what stenography is, and what value it holds. A stenographer is someone who creates a written verbatim record on a steno machine using a unique shortened writing style known as "steno." Steno is "written" on the machine using a unique theory based on syllables rather than letter by letter, as is done on a standard keyboard. Because of their shortened writing style and unique keyboard layout, stenographers, also known as court reporters, can type more than 200 words per minute on average.
Stenography is most commonly used in legal proceedings and court reporting. However, stenographers also work in other fields, such as live television closed captioning, forums for deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences, and documenting governmental agency proceedings. Stenographers are more likely to get into government jobs than others. There are limitless possibilities in shorthand. As your speed increases, the possibilities also increase. At the same time, the pay scale also increases. When a student takes admission to learn stenography, his first year is more important than the later years because if he takes a day off during this period, he will be unable to complete the chapter taught in that class. The result of this is visible in his stenography.
