Chapter 3: Understanding the Shorthand Machine

"courthouse"-- K O R T/H O U S or "workhorse"-- WORBG/
HORS. The writer may also record an entire phrase in just one
stroke, "state your name"-- ST A U R PL or "could you tell us" --
KOUTS. The machine automatically creates spaces between the
strokes, so the writer never needs to take their fingers off the
keyboard to press a Return or Enter key.

Computer software translates each stroke or group of strokes
immediately into text by comparing the strokes to an electronic
table of words and phrases called a "dictionary." This dictionary
automatically provides for correct spelling of words, punctuation
and spacing between words. Once the steno strokes are translated
into words, text editing software is used to make corrections and to
produce a final printed transcript.

The first shorthand machines were developed in the late 1800s and
have evolved over time to the present-day élan Cybra. To learn
more about the evolution of the shorthand machine that brought the
technology to this point, visit www.stenograph.com and view
“The History of Machine Shorthand.”
