Shorthand is the most widely used system of its kind in the world. It is used by millions of professionals from
all walks of life in nearly every country worldwide. This system of shorthand is the most efficient of any other
type created, it is considered the easiest to learn, use and read, it is simple, straightforward and elegant in
design. As the Gregg system evolved, since its inception in 1888, it has become even easier to learn over the
years.This course addresses the newest version of Shorthand, which is the second edition “Simplified.” You will
find that by learning this system of shorthand that your work will become much easier and the knowledge you have
obtained will give you valuable access to numerous positions in the business world.
There are ten comprehensive lessons written in an easy to follow, informative manner.Most traditional shorthand
systems use a phonetic representation of a word as opposed to the way it is spelled. English spelling has 50 speech
sounds and 26 letters to represent them.Here are the issues you will face learning symbol-based shorthand. First,
all shorthand systems based on assigning a unique outline to a specific word and require a very considerable time
to memorize tens of thousands of outlines. Second, a large number of shorthand outlines demands constant practice
on a daily basis to remember all memorized symbols including the ones you haven't used but you might use them in
the future. Third, depending on the form and thickness of symbols it might translate to different meaning and
transcription often represents a problem. Fourth, symbol-based shorthand systems cannot be used with a computer.To
make up for the missing symbols, several letters are often combined to represent a sound. This wouldn't be so
difficult if a consistency could be established. For instance, the "sh" sound can be spelled in many different
ways: facial, sure, she, pension, issue, commission, station.The vowel letters can be spelled in various ways. The
"oo" sound has many different spellings: dune, juicy, clue, troupe, fruit, through, maneuver, wooed, troops, ooze,
new, rheumatism, prove, cruise, toe, two, spoon, to. If all English words are counted, there are 28 different
spellings for each sound, or over 1,100 ways to spell 40 sounds.Writing phonetically reduces the number of symbols
per word but requires a very long time to learn tens of thousands of outlines. In addition, phonetically-based
shorthand can be only read by the person who wrote the symbols and information exchange cannot be done
easily.Mastering steno typing requires attending a stenographic or court-reporting school for two years. Due to
long time and high costs of stenotype training, computer-assisted note taking can serve as a viable option.
Computer-aided note taking (CAN) systems, like steno-based systems, are used primarily in the classrooms and courts
to translate speech into text in real time. Similar to steno-based systems, CAN provides an edited or unedited copy
of the text.Unlike steno-based systems, CAN involves the use of a standard keyboard by pressing one key at a time.
Substitution of handwriting notes with typing enables the typist increase the speed of input in order to capture
more spoken information. Further speed increases can be achieved by utilizing abbreviated text input. Existing
typing abbreviation systems (Instant Text, Productivity Plus, ShortCut Windows and Abbreviate) assign a unique code
to each word. You will need to memorize tens of thousands of abbreviations to type efficiently. If you don't
remember the codes you will not able to retrieve a corresponding full word.In contrast, ComputerScript assigns all
words to five basic categories and you only need to learn one rule per specific category. As a result, learning
curve and memorization volume are drastically reduced and attaining proficiency can be achieved in a short period
of time.
