Unreferenced date May 2008 Image Velotype.jpg thumb The Velotype Velotype is the old trademark for a type of alphanumeric keyboard keyboard for typing text known as a chorded keyboard syllabic chord keyboard , an invention of the Dutchmen Nico Berkelmans and Marius den Outer. The current tradename is Veyboard . Veyboard is a Netherlands Dutch company. Contrary to traditional QWERTY type keyboards, on which a typist usually presses one key at a time to create one character at a time, a Veyboard requires the user to press several keys simultaneously, producing syllable s rather than Letter alphabet letter s. A practiced veyboarder can produce more text than on a traditional keyboard, as much as 200 words per minute, double the rate of a fast traditional typist. Because of this, Veyboards are often used for live applications, such as Subtitle captioning subtitling for television and for the deaf hearing impaired . The keyboard is an orthographic chord keyboard, very different from chorded phonetic keyboards used for verbatim transcription, like the Stenotype . Chorded phonetic keyboards, such as those manufactured by Stenograph, produce an intermediate shorthand format in which a combination of phonetics and spelling based strokes are translated by software to produce the output. Orthographic keyboards, on the other hand, allow the operator to rely on more traditional spelling in shaping the output, hence the term orthographic as opposed to phonetic . Stenographic keyboards are generally more difficult to learn than the Veyboard, but trained Stenotype operators can go faster, even upwards of 300 words per minute.

One source date July 2006 A transcript is a transcription linguistics written record of spoken language . In court proceedings, a transcript is usually a record of all decisions of the judge , and the spoken Logical argument arguments by the litigant s lawyers . The transcript is expected to be an exact and unedited record of every spoken word, with each speaker indicated. Such a record was originally made by court stenographer s who used a form of shorthand abbreviation to write as quickly as people spoke. Today most court reporter s use a Stenotype specialized machine with a phonetic key system, typing a key or key combination for every sound a person utters. Many courts worldwide have now begun to use digital recording systems. The recordings are archived and are sent to court reporter s or transcriber s only when a transcript is requested. ref citebook title Legal Language author Peter M.

Unreferenced date April 2007 Infobox Writing system name Wang Krogdahl typedesc Shorthand time 1936 languages Norwegian language Norwegian creator Leif Wang and Olav Krogdahl fam1 German Unified Shorthand Deutsche Einheitskurzschrift Wang Krogdahl is a form of shorthand . ref citation last1 Wang first1 Leif year 1947 title Stenografi first2 Michael last2 Flagstad first3 Olav last3 Krogdahl publisher Norsk korrespondenceskole url http books.google.com books?id 2M UOwAACAAJ ref Development Shorthand was only introduced in Norway when it became necessary to record the proceedings of the Norwegian parliament Stortinget in a more reliable and official manner from the middle of the 19th century onwards. In 1857, 14 shorthand writers were finally hired following an 1845 command by King Oscar I . In the beginning an old Swedish system was used G trek s a geometrical system , but once the news of Gabelsberger s system reached Norway in 1865 a switch was inevitable. Gabelsberger s system remained the dominant system of shorthand in Norway for a hundred years. However, because of the increasing demand for and popularity of shorthand from the 1930s onwards, a need for a simpler system arose. This demand was met primarily by Leif Wang and Olav Krogdahl, who were teachers of shorthand. They simplified Gabelsberger s system, using the German unified system Einheitskurzschrift and others as guidelines. Their first book was published in 1936, but it only caught on gradually. Today, however, it is the only system used by the reporters in the Norwegian parliament. No stenotype shorthand machines have been made for the Norwegian language all proceedings are reported by hand. From 2009 the parliament will no longer train shorthand writers proceedings will gradually be recorded electronically in the future. Due to the use of dictaphones and computers, shorthand is not in use in Norway other than in the parliament.

A typewriter ribbon is an expendable module serving the function of transferring pigment to paper in various devices for impact printer impact printing . Such ribbons were part of standard designs for hand or motor driven typewriter s, teletype s and teleprinters, stenotype machines, printer computing computer driven printer s and many mechanical calculator s, before electronic alternatives replaced most of them. The module consists of a length of a medium, either pigment impregnated woven ribbon or pigment coated polymer tape, and a transport mechanism involving two axles. At any given moment, most of the length of the medium is wound as a close spaced spiral around one axle or the other, tight enough for friction between turns to make it behave mostly like a solid cylinder. Rotation of the axles moves the ribbon or tape after each impact and usually aids in maintaining tension along the roughly straight line path of the medium between the axles. The module may itself include mechanisms that control the tension in the temporarily unwound portion of the medium. Reversing ribbons Woven typewriter ribbons were the earlier variant. With them, the pigment is an ink that dries on typing paper but not on the ribbon, and the ribbon is mounted at each end to a flange d reel whose hub engages with one of the axles. Only the axle onto which the ribbon is winding is driven, and the ribbon module is intended to work with a axle driving mechanism that reverses the direction of rotation when the undriven axle reaches the point where there is no ribbon left wound around it. Thus the full length of the ribbon shuttles back and forth between reels, and each position along it is struck twice in each cycle of the ribbon s motion once in the right to left phase and once in the left to right . An operator who judges a ribbon s ink supply to be depleted to a point of marginal acceptability typically manually winds the whole ribbon onto the fuller reel, releasing it from the empty one, di ... more details

The small school of 35 students, which had been established in 1858, rapidly grew to 350 students.

The curriculum was gradually changed from Latin , German language German , Greek language Greek , calculus , and epistolary writing to banking , mercantile trades, shorthand , and typing . After Davis death in 1904, his son, Thurber P. Davis, left the University of Michigan to take over the management of Davis Business College.
