Stenography, more often called shorthand, is any writing system that uses symbols or shortcuts that can be made to represent letters of the alphabet, words, or phrases. (Stenography is from Greek words meaning “narrow writing.”) The purpose of shorthand is to be able to write approximately as fast as someone speaks, in order to take down everything that is said.
Isaac Pitman published his ‘Stenographic Sound-Hand’ in 1837. He classified all the sounds in English and arranged his method of writing accordingly. Pitman characters have simple geometric forms, and the curves are parts of a true circle. Some letters are written with a light stroke, some with a heavy (shaded) stroke. The light and shaded strokes of the same form usually represent closely related sounds.
