I can already type on a QWERTY keyboard way faster than I can think. That's one reason I haven't adopted a Dvorak habit. Most court reporters use software nowadays that renders their special stenotype skills obsolete. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Dvorak is much more comfortable than qwerty, in my opinion. I never actually cared about speed, it just feels better. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

> Most court reporters use software nowadays that renders their special stenotype skills obsolete. What software? It would need text-to-speech of the same accuracy; for that to be possible (how accurate is that?) I think everyone would have to be properly mic'd. Also, TTS errors would need to be detectable somehow by the stenographer, or transcripts could go dreadfully wrong. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Can you give some names/information on the software that is used ? | |||||||||||||||||||||||
