Do British Courts still require a Stenographer using stenographic/stenomask machine?

Peter Brooks

A Stenographer using a stenomask machine can capture the spoken work with very high accuracy, at speeds up to 360 words per minute..

Human typists using a regular computer keyboard have problems exceeding 90 words per minute.

Can we increase text transmission speeds through the internet using coding similar to that used by a stenographer?

    Hello Mark:

    Another item was that we (men) all had to wear ties. However as I had to frequently work around rotating machinery  i was advised to wear "clip on" versions for safety reasons.

    At another sub plant of the same UK company all engineers had to wear white coats- like doctors, when out in the factory

    From my perspective, fortunately the need to wear ties disappeared in the early 2010's.

    Wearing a tie when visiting the client still very much required.

    The other daily event in the same UK factory was the playing of military type music by a brass band over the intercom system for about a half an hour once in the morning and once in the afternoon during "slump" times (say 10.00 am and 2.00 pm) called "Music while you work"
