Dictating to a stenographer writing in shorthand or typing on a stenotype
necessitates the presence of both the dictator and the stenographer. This may not always be possible. The stenographer might be busy taking dictation from some other executive, or doing some other work; or the executive may feel the urgency of dictating letters or may want to dictate letters while at his residence late in the evening hours. These difficulties may be overcome by the use of dictating machines or Dictaphones. The executive may dictate something to the machine and leaves the rest of the job to be done by the typist.
This machine provides for the storage and later for reproduction of the spoken or dictated messages.
