Roberta Lincoln at typewriter

The typewriter could interpret perfect speech and pauses

A typewriter was a writing machine that produced characters similar to typeset print by means of a manually-operated keyboard that actuated a set of raised types, which struck paper through an inked ribbon.

Madeline, the secretary of Dixon Hill, had a typewriter on her desk. (TNG: "The Big Goodbye")

During the 1950s, most science fiction writers had to utilize typewriters. Benny Russell owned a Smith Corona brand typewriter. (DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars")

In 1968, Roberta Lincoln was surprised by the typewriter in Gary Seven's office, which instead of needing manual input like all typewriters of the day, was able to type what was spoken and was even able to interpret the context of the conversation. (TOS: "Assignment: Earth")

This ability is even beyond todays modern [[computer]]s with the latest speech recognition software. For as modern computers with proper configuring for the user might be able to capture words, they cannot interpret mood and special character placement as the typerwriter in Gary Seven's office did.
