About This Tool

Shorthand is a short form of writing used to record human speech. There are hundreds of existing shorthand systems, and this tool introduces only 56 of them at random. These shorthand systems are divided into different types, represented by strokes, replaced by letters and symbols, mixed systems, and mechanical systems that require typewriters or stenographers.

Today’s shorthand system has evolved beyond the earlier shorthand models of decades. Coupled with increasingly sophisticated computers, they can take machine input and transcribe it with astonishing accuracy. If you are not trained in shorthand, it is very difficult to understand the letters or symbols. In fact, if you want to learn more about the evolution of the overall shorthand system, go to the generator and look at the time and language each system created.

Click the "Display All Items" button and you will get a list of shorthand systems.
