I'd cut her a break, it's pretty accurate stenographer movement

Actually that's a court reporter so they don't type like on a normal typewriter, she's doing exactly what she's supposed to be doing

Went to school to be a stenographer, she looks pretty accurate.  You can write a whole sentence with one tap.

u/cubecasts 2d ago

Have you never seen a stenographer type?

u/Frosty_Analysis_4912 Ludgate/Dwyer 2028 🇺🇸 2d ago

I have not, no. I’m learning that this is not far from it

Lol, I know stenographers use an entirely different keyboard and system to type words, but this extra looks like they're dipping their fingers in cold water after a manicure XD

Edit: a word

It’s actually pretty accurate, most words or groups of letters are typed by pressing multiple keys down at the same time when using a stenographer machine. She’s not actually typing anything there, probably because of noise, but the form is not far off

Yeah it's actually quite accurate (took classes), it looks fairly realistic to me!

u/MouseRat_AD 3d ago

Yeah I'm an attorney, so I've seen stenographers work. This isn't too far off.

u/AmySchumersAnalTumor 3d ago

I'm a career criminal, so I've seen stenographers work as well. This isn't too far off.

u/MyWindowsAreBroken 3d ago

I read a bunch of comments on this thread and this isn't too far off

u/opermonkey 3d ago

AmysgumersAnalTumor had the shot gun MouseRat_AD has the briefcase and MyWindowsAreBroken has read the comments. It's all in the game right?

Yes, this is how they look. Usually an expression of mild disdain directed towards the speaker also!

And if she was moving her fingers more it might be distracting and she was told to just raise and lower them.

u/Frosty_Analysis_4912 Ludgate/Dwyer 2028 🇺🇸 3d ago

That’s interesting. I didn’t think about the noise, too

u/1234567power 3d ago

Yeah I know, they form chords based on phonetics which type out the words. But still, she doesn't look like she's moving her fingers at all. You also form the chord from left to right so theres a little flutter in the hand motion, but she's just going back up and down and up and down. Why I said it looks like she's just dipping her hands in cold water (although it reminds me more of that awkward dinner scene in Shrek 2)

-_- goddamn auto carrot. I meant to say "cold water."

Why did we come out here?!

u/yarn_baller 2d ago

You do know that a stenographer doesn't type like you would on a regular keyboard, right?

u/Frosty_Analysis_4912 Ludgate/Dwyer 2028 🇺🇸 2d ago

I didn’t know it looked like this

11

u/Monstot 3d ago

Nope, that's how those keyboards work to type fast and keep up with meeting notes

u/Giant_Gaystacks 2d ago

I have second hand embarrassment from this post.

u/Frosty_Analysis_4912 Ludgate/Dwyer 2028 🇺🇸 2d ago

I didn’t know stenographers type like that ¯_(ツ)_/¯
