Keyboard layout
Stenotype keys normally are black with no markings. This is the keyboard layout of the American stenotype machine:
In "home position," the fingers of the left hand rest along the gap between the two main rows of keys to the left of the asterisk (little finger on the "S" to forefinger on the "H" and "R"). These fingers are used to generate initial consonants. The fingers of the right hand lie in the corresponding position to the right of the asterisk (forefinger on "FR" to little finger on "TS"), and are used for final consonants. The thumbs produce the vowels.
The system is roughly phonetic, e.g. the word "cat" would be written by a single stroke comprising the initial K, the vowel A, and the final T.
To enter a number, a user presses the number bar at the top of the keyboard at the same time as the other keys, much like the shift key on a QWERTY based keyboard. The illustration shows which lettered keys correspond to which digits. Numbers can be chorded just as letters can. They read from left to right across the keyboard. It's possible to write 137 in one stroke by pressing the number bar along with SP-P, but it takes three separate strokes to write 731. Many court reporters and stenocaptioners write out numbers phonetically instead of using the number bar.
There are various ways to combine letters to make different sounds; different court reporters use different theories in their work. Although historically reporters often created "briefs" (abbreviations) on-the-fly and sometimes mixed theories, which could make it difficult for one reporter to read another reporter's notes, current versions of theories are primarily designed for computerized translation using a standardized dictionary provided by the company that promulgates the theory, which forces reporters to stick with one theory and use only the specific combinations in that company's dictionary.
Some court reporters use scopists to translate and edit their work. A scopist is a person who is trained in the phonetic language, English punctuation, and usually in legal formatting. They are especially helpful when a court reporter is working so much that they do not have time to edit their own work. Both scopists and proofreaders work closely with the court reporter to ensure an accurate transcript. However, the widespread use of automatic computerized translation of the strokes has severely reduced the demand for scopists.

Have You Tried Playing Online Casino Before? |

It's Wednesday once again. I have been surfing the net just earlier today when I came to encounter a certain site that caught my interest. Of course, I am not new to online casinos... I mean, I know what exactly it is and I know how it works since it is just actually the online version of the traditional land-based casino. But the thing is, this is the first time that such stuff has tickled my interest.
If what I have heard was right, despite of the fact that we are currently facing problems with our economy, the number of people who are into the game has been continuously increasing since the debut of the first ever online casino in the mid 90's, and at the same time, sites who offered such game have mushroomed already all over the world wide web.
Now I am thinking of the possibility that I might try playing the game too... Just thinking of how much money would I get just incase I will win. And besides, I want to try how lucky I really am. Or am I?
