A person who writes down what people say in shorthand, usually in court, business meetings, or interviews.
From Greek 'stenos' (narrow, short) + 'graphia' (writing). Stenography was developed in the 1800s as a faster method of recording spoken words.
Court stenographers create a word-for-word record of trials at speeds up to 300 words per minute using a special keyboard with multiple keys pressed simultaneously—it's often the only complete record of what was actually said.
