Extensive Definition
Stenograph Corporation is a U.S. manufacturer of
equipment for court
reporters, including stenotype machines and
computer-aided transcription software. Other product lines
include closed
captioning software and court reporting supplies, such as
stenotype paper and transcript folders. Stenograph also provides
training materials, curricula, and courses for court reporters and
captioners.
The word "stenograph" is often incorrectly used
as a generic term for stenotype equipment and
writing theories, despite being a registered trademark of the
company.
Stenograph Corporation was formed in 1938. Since
its inception, it has purchased a number of competing firms,
including businesses bigger than itself, and is now the largest
supplier of court reporting equipment. Some of the companies
acquired by Stenograph include BaronData, Xscribe, and
MicroCAT.
Company headquarters are in Mt.
Prospect, Illinois.
