It just so happens that my housemate picked up one of these machines (called
a stenograph).  A stenograph works phonetically; each line of the output
represents one syllable.  Common words have special abbreviations.  Not
every letter is on the keyboard, so combinations are used.  You can,
however, hit all the keys at once.

To use this on a computer, you would need some (relatively sophisticated)
software to interpret the output.
