Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details a scientific approach to shorthand writing, offering a methodology for writing all consonant sounds, most vowel sounds, and the means to exactly locate any unrepresented sounds. By combining this approach with the use of positions to indicate which sounds begin words and by using special characters for the most common words, the author reduces the art of shorthand to a simple system that is both legible and brief, enabling rapid verbatim reporting. The author claims that the system overcomes the major flaw of all other shorthand systems: illegibility caused by the omission of consonant sounds and imprecise vowel representation. The author claims that complete expression of consonants and initial long vowels, combined with exact vowel location, provides the utmost possible legibility. The book goes into extensive detail regarding the use of each mark and character in the system, providing numerous examples to illustrate their usage. The author also stresses the importance of mastering the plan of the work and using the correct consonant characters, since the theory of the system relies heavily on the correct use of double consonant representatives to indicate whether or not a vowel sound follows the consonant strokes. The author claims that this book is the final solution to the problem of shorthand writing, creating a system that is scientifically sound and universally applicable.
