Did I miss anything with the following quote about court reporters in a courtroom trial?

In the old days the court reporters used shorthand, a method of recording that included symbols and codes and abbreviations and pretty much anything else they needed to keep up with the dialogue. After the trial, the court reporter would translate the shorthand to a typed, neat transcript of what was said during the trial. This would take days/weeks/months.
