Shorthand – lesson 1
Shorthand is a
general term referring to any abbreviated or symbolic writing
method that improves speed of writing or brevity as compared to a
standard method of writing the language. The process of writing
in shorthand is stenography, from the Greek stenos (narrow/close)
and graphy (writing). Many forms of shorthand exist. Typical
shorthand systems provide symbols or abbreviations for words and
common phrases which allow someone well trained in the system to
write as fast as people speak.

Shorthand was used
more widely in the past, before the invention of recording and
dictation machines. Until recently shorthand was considered an
essential part of secretarial training and was useful for
journalists as well. Although the primary use of shorthand has
been to record oral dictation of discourse, some systems are used
for compact expression. For example, health care professionals
may use shorthand notes in medical charts and correspondence.
Shorthand notes are typically temporary, intended for later
transcription to longhand.
