Court Reporters amaze me.

Does anyone know anything about those little machines they use?

They don’t have very many buttons but they seem to get everything

Instead of one key per letter, like a typewriter, the machine requires multiple keys. Each letter requires a different combination of multiple key presses. The skill required is much higher than that of using a typewriter.

I once presided over a court martial in which the reporter used a mask with a microphone in it. She repeated everything that was said by the witnesses and the court.

Wow, it sounds like that is not a job for the dyslexic. Regular typing is bad enough...
