STENO MACHINE KEYBOARD
The unique design of the steno machine keyboard  allows court reporters and broadcast closed captioners to write at speeds of over 260 words per minute.  The design of the steno machine allows the court reporter to depress keys simultaneously to create words, phrases, punctuation, and letters that are not on the keyboard, all in one stroke. Realtime computer aided transcription software translates the steno immediately into English that allows for closed captioning on television for the hearing impaired as well as instant translation in the courtroom and legal proceedings, and the educational system.


The STENOGRAPH PROTEGE is the recommended machine for both court reporting school and your court reporting, captioning, or CART Providing career.

The steno machine court reporter using a computerized stenograph machine is the most accurate of any method, writing verbatim at speeds of 225 words per minute and faster. Though some schools are promoting  voice recognition software, our surveys of national closed captioning companies indicate few if any are employing the voice recognition method as the accuracy is far from the required accuracy a realtime reporter or closed captioner can provide. Our studies indicate voice recognition will not be a viable realtime profession any time in the  forseeable future, if ever.
