   Neither can I.  That's why they -did- type from their own notes!  I don't know   
   who told you that they didn't.  Did Ardith?  Naughty.  ;)   
      
   Although the 'chicken scratchings' form that steno notes may start by using a   
   standard script, often the person would insert their own symbology to account   
   for in-house terms and abbreviations, for example.   
      
   It's similar to the medical field where there is a notation form for even the   
   specification of patients' medication.  Ask a nurse, pharmacist or doctor   
   (?maybe) how their 'shorthand' looks for a typical example for: "1 pill, twice   
   a day".  (I'm counting on Russian equivalent folk doing the same, of course...   
   /fingers crossed/.)   
      
   The separation of typing duties from stenography was only possible with the   
   introduction of dictatorial equipment.  History lesson, finished. Thank you   
   for listening.  :)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
