Abstract
Stenographer's Memorial has two parts: one part is a text-based memorial temporarily installed in the lobby of the Federal Courthouse in Melbourne. Although it is a digital image installed in the lobby's information screens, it references historical memorials of workplace disasters. Upstairs in the courtroom, I give a 15-minute lecture with a live stenographer about speech recognition and transcription technologies, their history, and their potential impact on the profession of courtroom stenographers. There are two projection screens: one screen shows an automatic Google transcription of my talk; on the other screen, the stenographer transcribes all of the 'non-speech' sounds that she hears in the courtroom.
