I don't get why that page doesn't call it stenotypy (as in, on a machine) instead of stenography (as in Pitman, Gregg, Teeline, etc.).
Also, I take it that "CAT software" does not refer to computer-aided translation here?
- woodrowbarlow 5y agothe video on the landing page makes this claim: > steno is not typing. typing is when you get one character of output per one press of the keyboard; whereas in steno you press multiple keys at once to make a steno outline which must then go through a translation process to produce readable text. this is why court reporters call the process writing and not typing.

- mumblemumble 5y agoI am guessing it's because stenographers originally did it by writing shorthand, and nobody wanted to change the name of their job just because started using a different tool to do it.
