An office transcriber, also known as a stenographer or steno, is a professional who specializes in taking dictation and transcribing it into written documents. They are trained to type quickly and accurately, often using shorthand or specialized software. They are responsible for creating accurate records of meetings, court proceedings, and other events. Stenographers are also sometimes called upon to provide real-time transcription services, which involve typing out what is being said as it is being said.
