A stenographer’s wpm? 225. That is how fast a stenographer’s fingers have to fly to get certified. Not only do these hyper-focused, somewhat type-A personalities have to be fast, but they also have to be accurate. And no machine yet has been invented that can pick up a regional accent and make sense of it.

Stenographers are the reason you can watch live news with captions. They are the reason that courtrooms run smoothly and justice is recorded by the millisecond. Stenographers keep meeting minutes in high-pressure boardroom meetings so that shareholders don’t miss a beat. And they do it all in a short-hand language they have to learn and know by heart. And yeah, there is cursing... In Steno.

So do these hard-working, badass, keyboard warriors deserve to have some swagger in their step? You bet your sweet bippy they do. Get your favorite stenographer a unique gift.
