Stenography is a machine shorthand for court room transcription and captioning live TV broadcasts! Professional stenographers write at 180 to 220wpm to keep up with the human speech. Today I'll be talking about learning stenography at home with the open-sourced program Plover, how steno works and how you can steno at home with your own keyboard too.

Thank you Peter for sending me your steno uni v2 keyboard!
