My stenography journey, entry 1
Mar. 2nd, 2024 01:13 pmThese will be tagged with "steno" for easy exclusion by readers.
For those curious, stenography is basically shorthand; machine stenography is the thing you see court reporters use in court proceedings (those strange typewriter-like machines they type into) and is used to caption live action TV using typed chords (multiple keys pressed at once) - a type of machine shorthand. I've dabbled with various shorthand things like Gregg Shorthand and others over the years (with not a lot of success as I just can't read my own handwriting), but for these entries, I'm talking about machine stenography. Believe it or not, there are hobbyist stenographers, and I'm (at least attempting to) join their ranks. (If you're curious, check out the Open Steno Project for more info.)
( More about hobbyist steno and a bit of background about stenography machines in general )
( My progress so far )
