Because this technology uses a special keyboard and multi-key typing with both hands, professional stenographers can input more than 220 words per minute at high speed and work for a long time. During the meeting, live text demonstrations can be conducted to help participants understand the spirit of the meeting. After the meeting, the manuscript can be released immediately, so that the sound and text can be completely synchronized without post-processing, which effectively improves the efficiency of the meeting and is unanimously affirmed by all fields of society.
In foreign countries, shorthand and shorthand recording skills are one of the basic skills necessary for secretaries. There are 5 million stenographers in the United States, and almost 1 0,000% of the courts use stenographers for on-site recording. In Japan, Germany, France, Britain and other countries, fast recording technology has been widely used.
In fact, as early as the 1960s and 1970s in China, handwritten shorthand was already very popular. In the past, the work of quick recording was done only by a piece of paper and a pen, and the words to be recorded were also marked with specific symbols, such as a "vertical tick" representing a word. After the meeting or speech, the recorder "translates" it into ordinary words. Since there are no people who specialize in shorthand, this job is often done by trained secretarial staff, which is also commonly known as "clerks". Computer shorthand only appeared in China in 1994. The use of speed recorders and computers has greatly improved work efficiency, making computer shorthand gradually replace handwritten shorthand. Because many people are not aware of the prospect of shorthand industry and the imperfection of talent training system, the shortage of shorthand talents is directly affected.
At present, there is a great shortage of professional stenographers in China. There are only a few hundred stenographers who can independently complete the shorthand task of large-scale conferences in the national market, mainly distributed in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. It often happens that some small cities need shorthand services, but there are no stenographers to hire. According to incomplete statistics, the demand gap of Hebei stenographers is as high as 350,000, while the stenographers who have the ability of meeting stenographers are only about 10. There are only two or three stenographers in Nanjing who can record synchronously with sound, but there are no fewer than 400 conferences and forums held in hotels with three stars or above. According to the calculation of one stenographer per session, Nanjing needs at least 400 stenographers every day, and the supply of stenographers in the market is insufficient 1%. In addition, website interviews, live TV broadcasts, writers' association writing, judicial cases, public forums, etc. I need this now.
In addition, the existing stenographers are mostly concentrated in state organs such as courts, and the stenographers engaged in commercial services in society are even scarcer, so the demand for stenographers will increase greatly in the next decade. China needs millions of speed recorders, and there is a huge talent gap. According to industry estimates, there are millions of demands for large-scale exhibitions, forums, collective meetings, news media, online media, film and television subtitles, meeting minutes, court trial records, and civil posts in party and government organs, enterprises and institutions, but at present, there are less than 1000 stenographers who can really "speak and write".
As a profession, stenographers are not all qualified. According to the current professional standards for trial operation of stenographers, a qualified stenographer needs to have the following professional abilities: first, he needs to have a high ability to acquire, understand and recognize external information, and a high ability to analyze, reason and judge; Second, we must have a high ability to express words effectively; Third, you need to have the ability to use your fingers quickly, accurately and flexibly to complete established operations; Fourth, we should have the ability to coordinate the ear, eyes, brain, hands and other parts of the body according to the auditory and visual information, and respond quickly, accurately and harmoniously to complete the established operation. Being a qualified stenographer requires a lot of physical strength, listening, comprehension, memory, reaction ability and coordination ability, which is not suitable for older people. And at the beginning of training, I have to practice typing 20-30 thousand words every day, and I need to endure loneliness and boredom.
As a stenographer, it is most important to control your mouth. Revealing customers' information to others will not only lead to the loss of personal reputation, but also lead to legal liability. Objectivity is also a basic requirement for stenographers. In the process of stenographer's recording, it is inevitable to encounter some words that stenographer thinks are unreasonable. At this time, stenographers are required to have a professional attitude, truthfully and objectively reflect the contents of the meeting, and do not make subjective assumptions to cause deviations.
If you have some other professional knowledge, or have the ability of English or other languages, then you will make greater development in the fast recording industry. "Professional knowledge+quick record" can be used for exhibitions and seminars of related majors; With the holding of more international exhibitions, "language ability+quick recording" will become another "golden rice bowl" after "simultaneous interpretation".
At present, stenographers play their special recording skills mainly in the following fields: first, court trial records and inquiry records in the judicial system; The second is the on-site records of seminars and symposiums from all walks of life; Third, the on-site records of office meetings of government departments and all walks of life; The fourth is the webcast of the conference; Fifth, the website interviews guests, and the online text is broadcast live; Sixth, the whole process of diplomatic, official and commercial negotiations; Seventh, lectures, speeches, cross talks and other content records. The scope of work is quite extensive.
