The unique design of the steno machine keyboard  allows court reporters and broadcast closed captioners to write at speeds of over 260 words per minute.  The design of the steno machine permits the court reporter to depress keys simultaneously to create words, phrases, punctuation, and letters that are not on the keyboard all in one stroke. Realtime computer aided transcription software translates the steno immediately into English that makes possible closed captioning on television for the hearing impaired as well as instant translation in the courtroom and legal proceedings.

The steno machine keyboard consists of 22 separate keys and a number bar.
Whether the steno machine is a manual student model or a state of the art computer aided translation model, the keyboards are the same configuration.
