Have you ever wondered how a court reporter is able to record the testimony at a trial? This Luminex court reporting machine has a lot to do with it, and enables the court reporter to type at 200 words per minute or more. I’m not going to say I understand how they do it, all I know is that it’s nothing like a typewriter, and it isn’t easy to learn. Apparently about 90% of students drop out of court reporting school before reaching graduation. I took these photos for Stenograph, a company that has been manufacturing these and other related products for 75 years.
