- Ever wonder how court reporters can keep up with blazingly fast dialogue in the courtroom and get every word no matter how fast the testimony whips by? Or maybe while watching the news at the gym, wondered how live closed captioning works. Is there really someone behind the scenes typing it all out? Welcome to Stan’s quick and dirty video on how steno works.

You know what would be cool? A video that actually explains how stenography works
Sounds pretty straightforward to me
It dies explain it
Its fucking tough
Bro I'm smart fuck like 137 IQ its tough
Its art its music
I'm not an arts music guy
Learn piano u figure it out
🤣🤣😭😭
Bruh why are there literally NO videos explaining it???
PATSFBALL 4466 You say you have an above average iq, yet you can’t even string a proper sentence together.
Dude, you spend two minutes calmly explaining how fast the average person types then rush past the actual steno explanation.
Lol sorry! :[
works fine at 0.75 speed

Stanley Sakai r u a bottom?
it's a metaphor to show how steno looks compared to regular typing lol
I arrived with a simple question and left with an existential crisis. Thanks a lot
I don’t understand why all these steno videos feel the need to so quickly explain something so confusing lol
because they're speed freaks as it is. that's why they got into steno to begin with.
Because they are idiots
@@summersendband Yeah, the people typing 225 wpm are idiots. Ok.
@@stephenliu4869 typing fast disqualifies them as idiots?
@@summersendband Yes. I know very little about stenography too, but I know that it takes months, years even of training to learn how to do it. It's like learning an entirely new language. Expecting a 3 minute video to explain it would be unreasonable. This video probably could've given a better overview, but if you really wanted to learn how stenography works, you'd be better off googling it or something.
This just confused me even more. How the hell is TKAOG shorthand for "Doing"?
In order to fit all consonants on the left side (and again on the right side) with vowels in the middle and a very limited number of keys, you have to hit combinations of keys to make letters.
So T by itself is T, K by itself is K, but TK together make D. G on the right side can be a G or it can mean the entire "ing" ending. Since TKOG would be dog, Stanley threw an A in there and programmed his dictionary to recognize TKAOG (DAOG) as "doing."
@sbtopjosh if it helps, they are highly trained and can make a shit ton of money.
and right now we're still dealing with "h0w R U d01ng"
@@michawolski2584 You mean an audio recorder? M8 they're using it alongside stenographers. Speech recognition is highly flawed if you held it against a guy with a really thick accent.
you did not see how they write Anaconda in Sten? it is:
xfdsfsermaldearwayfislaalf
BECAUSE it is long snake.I wondere if these letters are description of the skin pattern on snake
haha I'm just imagining someone saying "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" in a courtroom and the stenographer just starts to panic
Haha...Court reporter and captioner here. We have a stroke for that. We've heard it all.
So how does Stenograph work? Anyone else still confused?
Basically it's not fast enough to type one letter at a time. So a whole syllable is typed at once (e.g. "sing").
The left side of the keyboard is syllable-starting letters ("s-"), the middle for vowels ("-i-"), and the right side for syllable-ending letters ("-ng").
To make it easier to read, they don't use letters but *sounds* which are different. Think of how "sing" and "side" use the letter "i" for two different sounds, or how the sound "ng" in "sing" is different to letters n and g. When they read their code again, it's easier to work out which "i" sound they wrote if there's a different way to write each sound.
However their keyboard isn't big enough for every sound, so they decided to set some sounds as to random keys pressed together (you can see in the vid that "d-" is T+K together).
Btw these "sounds" are called phonemes.
@@LowestofheDead nicu
This wasn’t a very informative video😅 something this complicated shouldn’t be raced through..
@@baramis575 The Man rushed like when you order something from McDonald's!!!
@@LowestofheDead so basically you have to code the entire language you're writing in and remember it all
So a stenographer machine is really just a modern day enigma machine lol
"the fastest possible speed maxing out at 120WPM for short periods of time"
*looks at reckful*
fuck off
Fuck you
Rip
Y are u here
@@DBDenzz why are you?
Yea nope still don't understand how it works lmao
That is so cool! Thanks for the overview; my appreciation for Steno just multiplied by 100000!
Very good video, came looking for how stenography works without any prior knowledge and got a clean and concise answer. Thank you!
Such a great introduction. Loved the historical background, thanks!
Awesome video. Thanks for the upload! Love your writing and drawings as well!
Thanks for the video, on occasion, on the internet- someone takes the time to provide instruction, help or guidance and I am always appreciative of that. You can read a thousand articles on stenography and not really get it until you see something like this- short simple entertaining. Anyhow, thank you for taking the time to pass on information. Well done!.
"fastest possible maxing out at 120wpm"
*Me, autistically laughing at my 138*
heck, English US QWERTY keyboards have world records past 200 words per minute
I'm going to go back to understanding that I don't understand how stenography works...ahhhh that's better.
Great video, Stan! You nailed it!
Perfect, Stan! I love this. I'll share it on my palantype page on FB. Good work and nicely edited!
I watched a 3 minute video explaining how stenography works.
Now I'm gonna search for another video to explain how stenography actually works.
I want to understand it, but my mind can't even get into the base. Well, I can still live without understanding it.
This was AWESOME!! Thank you!!
I've always wondered. Thank you.
Him: How it differs from the keyboard you are sitting in front of
Me: sitting in front of my phone laughing
you make it so clear I enjoyed this Video
I learned more about stenography reading a book on diesel transmissions than I did this video.
Stan! Awesome vid! Looking forward to some more "quick and dirty" steno vids in the future!
Thanks for blowing out my ears at the end there.
I always wondered... Thank you!
Great description! Also, You have very nice handwriting- that seems like a lost art.
Quick and dirty. That's a good title for a video series. Great job. Keep it HEEL 👊
Just imagine if everyone on YT typed with a stenograph. We could effectively double the level of comment-feed shitposting!
Thank you for giving me the Quick & Dirty, Stan! This really helped, I was curious about this subject all week.
thanks for explaining this random question that popped in my mind..thanks dude
Wait, why/how does TKAOG mean "doing"?
TK = D. AO = OO. -G = ing. So dooing, doing. ;).
Obviously, duh.
Lol. He answered, and it's appreciated, but still... what?
There isn't room on the machine for every letter so instead they use combination of letters to form the missing letters. They don't logically form the sounds, they are just straight symbols.
Steno works on phonemes, not letters. Sounds, not characters.
who's here from daily dose of internet
Has anyone ever commented on the fact your 'keyboard' looks and works just like an old fashioned Braille one? Shaped the same and multiple keys are pressed at same time to create bumps on the stiff paper that configure into words or letters. I haven't seen one in 50 years.
Very nice video and it actually encouraged me to go to the website and check it out further
Thanks
Probably the most in-depth explanation I've ever heard of what Stenography is. My hats off to you, Stan.
AWESOME VIDEO!!! :D Thanks :3
This deserves more views :)
You got an A+!! Thanks for sharing it. It is clear, clever and well-organized material.
I literally came here because I saw your tiktok about you doing CC and I was looking for a video explaining how it worked
That music in the end just really blew my ears. Still great video though.
Great video man
Nice background music.
This was more informative than two hours of research.
The video is a great summary of why stenography is important, what is the history behind it and what does a stenographer do.
If you wanted an in depth explanation i have no idea why did you click on a 3 minute long video
Bro i need a someone to use a steno to write me up the transcript of this video bc that explanation was hella fast lol
I'm still confused and even more intrigued
It’s just shorthand written with a different typewriter. The stenographer has to learn a full vocabulary to write those words
That headphone kill in the last seconds though.
that was way cool! thanks!
Well, THAT explained a lot!
Excellent!
I would recommend adding your blog link to your yt profile, and possibly to your descriptions, for the curious. Perhaps this one could also use a link to the open source steno project.
these kinds of things fascinate me really. this sounds dandy in monolingual courts, but is a nightmare in places that code-switches two or more languages
so the short cut for the word "hi" is xdfjvsewv pressed at the same time , very short indeed. NOW I KNOW why Court cases takes 20 years to be closed. gd Jb (good job) in steno = xfdsv 3jfhhwhs vsieeef fjewvs eivhsl all pressed at the same time.
There 3 o and yet in steno it all different ?
can you keep up with eminem song?
Stanley... you don't need steno... you write really fast on the whiteboard!!! 🤣👍🙄
Awesome!!
The olden days…XD I feel OLD!
wow. this was interesting!
This is crazy to learn this.
Nice lightspeed! I have the same one
Thank you
This is great info goos job.
Do I want to learn stenography? Hell fucking yes!
Thanks for this video. I actually understand stenograpy after I was watching a video about how Obama’s stenographer found her job on Craigslist and I was like, “what is a stenographer and what do they do?”
Boyfriend and I were curious about stenography. Video was very well done, thanks.
Great video. I'm want to get into the profession.....any suggestions for a newbie?? I'm still a little confused about how you broke the words down. Are you available for a chat?
Hey, I know you! Cuesta is a friend and I think we actually met in person in HS Jan 2016. I looked up "watching a stenographer" and you were one of the first video to pop up. =)
SHIPFAMMMM
Wait, why do you need a stenographer live? Why can't you just record the audio with like 4 different devices all around the room to hear everything, and just have people go through the audio afterwards?
My brain hurts.
Thanks!
Great use of our laser-cut keys (pretty sure) :-D
If not, you can get some here: plover.deco-craft.com
I feel like I might be good at this because I'm great at typing and learning instruments
like for using weirddough but also for the great vid!
He did explain it. Why are the top comments saying he didn't?
Cool! Ty❤️
That song is my iPhone ringtone 😁😁
That paper gave me nightmares. I remember having to write outlines eight times perfect with a max of two errors total. If there were more than two you had to start all over again. 🙈😭😂
I have poor finger placement honestly use 3 fingers but I do type really fast and many words in a minute do you think I could learn to type properly for this or would it be difficult to remember?
(sorry odd question just looking into this now for maybe college)
Hi, isn't there some costs involved with plover? Do they sell software? (I tried them and felt dissatisfied.)
State of Georgia Vs. Denver Fenton Allen, Rick and Morty video brought me here!
:D
same here!
weird
Hello Stanley. Interesting stuff! Can I use this film to create a short 40 second clip about steno for a Dutch show?
I wonder if this would be a helpful skill for authors writing stories. I find it so difficult to keep up with my train of thought while I'm typing... How many words per minute do with think at lol?
Steno is the 00s stereotype texting standards.
I've personally made it over 140 WPM typing for short periods of time and I'm far from the best.
120 WPM is fairly low for the 'fastest' typing speeds, pushing past 160 seems feasible. 100 - 120 is my comfortable pace.
I got 331 wpm once in a high school typing test, it was however only a single long sentence. I can't really describe it, as it was almost like my brain took over, and I was a passenger. Once I hit the enter key, I thought for sure I simply typed gibberish, as it felt like i was just mashing the keyboard at random. I had a picture of it as proof, since I had a digital camera (cell phone cameras werent really the norm at the time), but it has since been lost to time.
bruh just read your article on medium while trying to quench my curiosity and noticed that you're the same guy.
I still have no idea how sten works...
RIP ears at the last 3 seconds.
I’m still lost! 🤣😳
What Im understanding is that it relies heavily on syllables and phonemic awareness.
It's shorthand but more complex.
You just hire this guy who did the graphics to this video.
This was cute, Mr. Stanographer.
Can Steno also be used in other languages besides English? Or is it meant for English use only?
I can type 90wpm for some reason.
25 years of PC chat rooms.
So informative. I’ve always wondered how this works and I was watching The Office (the one where Michael Scott is deposed). Seriously, such a good video. Thank you! 🙌🔥🤩
Whaaaaaat!
Smart. Brilliant. Progressive thinker - out of the box! Mad steno skills. Radical approach to EVERYTHING. "Why. How. What." Lasting impression made with me!
What was the steno machine you were using?
