Public stenographers are usually professionals that are able to take shorthand notes of conversations and oral presentations in a efficient and accurate manner so that there can be a public record of the proceedings. Local governments will often hire a public stenographer to take notes and records of public forums, meetings, conferences and legal proceedings so that people who have not attended can find out exactly what was said. Stenographers are usually skilled at taking detailed shorthand notes using symbols for common words and phrases. The shorthand record can then be transferred to common longhand and used as a public record of the proceedings.
