StenoMask

I'm watching a trial on Youtube and I see a person speaking into a mask-like device during the proceedings.
A little bit a searching turned this up:

The Dragon Steno-mask is a digital USB device which is automatically controlled/tuned by the Dragon Voice Recognition Software to your voice to get the extreme accuracy that court reporters need. If you speak differently from moment to moment, or day to day, the Dragon Steno-mask will adjust itself to your voice multiple times a minute. You will never have to manually tune a microphone in a steno-mask again. Welcome to the Digital Age of Steno-mask reporting. All other masks are simply analog and old-fashioned. Take your voice recognition to the next level with the Dragon Steno-mask!
Once you have trained the New All Digital Dragon Stenomask go into the settings in Nuance Dragon 15 and under options, set the accuracy to Most Accurate. Now train a new profile and read to it and it will get better and better till you are approaching real-time.
This is the greatest leap forward in Steno-mask technology since the invention of the Stenomask. This is the most anticipated tool for court reporters in a very long time.
Dragon is voice recognition/transcription software that has been around for a long long time. Many of the docs with whom I worked used it for medical records.
