The stenographer keyboard always fascinated me. But also, why can’t we just record these events instead of having someone type what was said? Siggy probably knows the answer
I don't have a full answer, but I suspect because a written transcript is beneficial beyond just the recording of it.
Being able to search case law, aggregate testimonies, etc. The text represents is the most compact possible value of what happened in the case (ie. its not important that they scratched their chin at minute 2:43...)
Having said that, I'm sure eventually AI will be trusted enough to provide real-time translation.
