In the last decades, reporting activities were mainly influence by
Audio recording Internetcommunication
![Page 5: Steno education: facing the changes in the reporting field? Beijing August 2009 Gian Paolo Trivulzio](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649dcf5503460f94ac45b0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Audio digital recording replaced tapes and cassettes,
implemented the use of keyboarding and opened new ways of producing records, thanks to easy recording on any computer, and easy transfer via Internet
![Page 6: Steno education: facing the changes in the reporting field? Beijing August 2009 Gian Paolo Trivulzio](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649dcf5503460f94ac45b0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Audio digital recording
• On the computer or on a portable device, helps for checking transcript
• The recording can be automatically split in various segments to be delivered to different reporters
• Digital recording is now fully integrated with stenomachine transcripts, which automatically creates a link between the steno strokes and the relevant audio position
![Page 7: Steno education: facing the changes in the reporting field? Beijing August 2009 Gian Paolo Trivulzio](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649dcf5503460f94ac45b0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Also traditional shorthand can take advange of digital recording thanks to
portable pen which creates links to steno outlines
(Livescribe with Anoto paper)

A simple demo of how it works
![Page 9: Steno education: facing the changes in the reporting field? Beijing August 2009 Gian Paolo Trivulzio](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649dcf5503460f94ac45b0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What you write can be trasferred to a computer keeping the link between written words and relevant sound
![Page 10: Steno education: facing the changes in the reporting field? Beijing August 2009 Gian Paolo Trivulzio](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649dcf5503460f94ac45b0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Since 1995 digitalization made speech recognition a reality, the voice of the speaker is automatically transcribed
(speaker dependent technology)
![Page 11: Steno education: facing the changes in the reporting field? Beijing August 2009 Gian Paolo Trivulzio](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649dcf5503460f94ac45b0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Thus creating to a new way of reporting in realtime (respeaking)
![Page 12: Steno education: facing the changes in the reporting field? Beijing August 2009 Gian Paolo Trivulzio](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649dcf5503460f94ac45b0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Improvements in speaker independent technology, open the door to automatic
transcript of speeches
• This was announced during the Intersteno Congress in Wien (2005) by Dott Gianni Lazzari
• Here in Beijing we have a report of Prof. Tatsuya Kawahara of Tokio University, about automatic transcript at the Japanese Parliament.
• Another report of Dott Gianni Lazzari will be published in the final printed report of our Congress and it deals with …

…a transcript service already in use in Italy since 1 year for creating
Transcripts ofcourt sessionsnational – regional and municipal sessionsCongress speechesvideo news
Digital audio files are uploaded via Internet to a server which automatically handles the process
![Page 14: Steno education: facing the changes in the reporting field? Beijing August 2009 Gian Paolo Trivulzio](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649dcf5503460f94ac45b0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
All these important improvements generated new reporting possibilities
• Distant reporting, sending digital files to one or several reporters
• Distance reporting in real-time, reducing costs of transferring people
• Reporting in foreign languages made easily available
• Real-time subtitling of school lessons for helping hearing impaired persons (also in distance places)
• TV subtitling in batch process or real-time

WHICH IS THE BEST TECHNOLOGY?A useless question
?
![Page 16: Steno education: facing the changes in the reporting field? Beijing August 2009 Gian Paolo Trivulzio](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649dcf5503460f94ac45b0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• In my opinion it is useless to discuss which is the best technology
• Because a technology has a real value only if we have the right persons who can give the best results in its use
• And this is accomplished if they have the background of a valuable education.
![Page 17: Steno education: facing the changes in the reporting field? Beijing August 2009 Gian Paolo Trivulzio](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649dcf5503460f94ac45b0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A few examples
• Shorthand is still the most used technology in Brazil Parliamentary, Regional Assemblies and Court thanks to good teaching from two important institutes
• Also in Germany, shorthand is still a traditional way of reporting, and the Association of Parliamentary Stenographer helds training courses for attaining the speed needed for doing a good job
• In Italy shorthand is considered to be a valid instrument for summary reporting, joined with a transcript by speech recognition
![Page 18: Steno education: facing the changes in the reporting field? Beijing August 2009 Gian Paolo Trivulzio](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649dcf5503460f94ac45b0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In USA• A strong request from NCRA
Association succeeded in having the government offering consistent support to schools for training good real time reporters
• NCRA offered 1 year education free plan to young people testing distance teaching techiques (a report on this experience will be released during the Conference session)
• NCRA and NVRA set rules to approve schools and professional
![Page 19: Steno education: facing the changes in the reporting field? Beijing August 2009 Gian Paolo Trivulzio](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649dcf5503460f94ac45b0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
In China and Korea
• Hundred of schools are teaching stenotype technique, which is also used as a replacement of traditional complicated keyboarding.
![Page 20: Steno education: facing the changes in the reporting field? Beijing August 2009 Gian Paolo Trivulzio](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649dcf5503460f94ac45b0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Education is needed but…
• Students can no more invest many years in learning and training
• Real time ability becomes an important assets• Managers of reporting services must be
assured for the continuity of their staff and the relevant investements in recruitement, training and technologies
• The final goal is to have higher quantities of good reporters
![Page 21: Steno education: facing the changes in the reporting field? Beijing August 2009 Gian Paolo Trivulzio](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649dcf5503460f94ac45b0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Therefore we have to deeply rethink about our didactic approach
• Reconsidering the support we can get from technology and psicology
• Being aware of the goals we have to set and the motivation we have to implement
• Being convinced that we must be able to work in a cooperation environments with other trainers and teachers
• Knowing that young people to-day are already able to use electronics and informatics better than us
![Page 22: Steno education: facing the changes in the reporting field? Beijing August 2009 Gian Paolo Trivulzio](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649dcf5503460f94ac45b0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Remembering that ‘life is long’
• So we must have a vision on at least the next 5/10 years of evolution in our field
• Being prepared to support ‘long life’ and ‘continuous’ education, which involves many psicologycal and practical aspects. Not everybody is willing to change habits, especially if they are imposed from a restructuring of the working environements and these changes are not well explained and planned
![Page 23: Steno education: facing the changes in the reporting field? Beijing August 2009 Gian Paolo Trivulzio](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649dcf5503460f94ac45b0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The down of a new approach
![Page 24: Steno education: facing the changes in the reporting field? Beijing August 2009 Gian Paolo Trivulzio](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649dcf5503460f94ac45b0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
