What is stenography?
Stenography is the practice of writing in shorthand using a stenotype machine to capture spoken language quickly and accurately. It is most commonly used in legal settings, including depositions, hearings, arbitrations, and trials, where an exact, verbatim record is required.
How does stenography work?
Stenography is the process of capturing spoken words in real time using a stenotype machine. Court reporters use specialized shorthand keystrokes to record phonetic sounds instead of individual letters.

This method enables fast, accurate transcription and supports real-time output during legal proceedings.
