Consider contributing to my Patreon at https://patreon.com/OurOwnDevices Stenotypes or Stenographs are machines designed for writing in stenographic or shorthand script, which allows language (especially spoken words) to be written down at a much greater speed than with conventional writing. First developed in the late 19th Century, stenographs were traditionally used by court reporters to produce official records of trials and by secretaries and journalists to take dictation. Digital versions are still in use today for court reporting and live closed-captioning.
