| | Left Shorthand - Werelight |
| | From what I can gather, shorthand was really big back in the 1950s and '60s, but it kind of died off with the rise of computers and technology. | | | Shorthand is a rapid way of writing based on phonetical sound rather than spelling. | | | I decided to try out my idea on just a few pages, so I scanned in the first few chapters and reversed all the images of shorthand so they appeared to be drawn from right-to-left. |

| | A Guide to Alternative Handwriting and Shorthand Systems |
| | Shorthand systems based on alphabetic characters can always fall back on longhand where clarity is important or when you might forget what an abbreviation stands for, such as "RCWs" standing for "red-cockaded woodpeckers." The example above, unless transcribed soon, would likely become undecipherable. | | | But since it is possible to write each word that sounds different in a unique way, I consider Pitman's system to be a form of handwriting as well as shorthand. | | | Dictionaries are available to show you how to outline tens of thousands of words, but the need for such dictionaries should tell you something of the inherent ambiguities of the system. |
