I agree! I'll make more soon!

Thanks!

perfect!

It depends how big you write, but I think you probably get fewer words perpage than longhand, especially writing at speed

😆

I think it's personal preference depending on whether you naturally write large or write small, but for me, I prefer the 5mm squared graph paper size. hope that helps!

@@shorthandist Thanks for letting me know 🙂

it is fun!

I recommend looking up some of the books I show in the video (there are free scans online) then search for a regular copy in english, you can have them open side-by-side on the computer and practice reading the shorthand, and when you get stuck refer to the english copy. After a while this practice will make you a better reader.

@@shorthandist I tried with hamlet, but i couldnt even make out the first word and they have it formated differently so i couldnt find where i wa s

@@DGTZ2027 Oh yes, that's a translation of a specific book by charles and mary lamb called Tales from Shakespeare. So I would look for a pdf of that. Or maybe start with an easier one like Sleepy Hollow

1) personal note taking, or basically anything I'm writing for myself to read. 2) 3/10 3) Since I can already read it, I wouldn't have too much use for a translator. However, a non-shorthand writer or genealogist might find it 10/10 usefull. 4) Modern court stenography and portable recorders mostly did away with the necessity for it. Since the market had died, it stopped being taught in schools. 5) The main challenge when beginning is to develop the muscle memory to repeat strokes accurately and learn all the new forms, and then learn all the abbreviated short-forms. The next challenge is to learn to read back what you wrote. 6) The difficulty in translating back what has been written is that context is very important. So if you don't know what the situation is it can take some time figure out what the reading of the word is. For example there is specialized shorthand for doctors, for pilots, for government, etc. so if you don't know the shortforms for the those fields you will struggle to translate it. There are also many phrases reduced to compiund strokes For ones own notes however this is not such an issue. 7) I suppose a translator would need to be able to interpret context to produce the correct reading, or possible have a drop-down that allowed you to choose from multiple readings. For example: Man and Main are spelled the same in gregg shorthand, you decide which it is based on the context of the sentence. 8) Probably getting the gist of the sentence 9) I would think the target audience would be non-shorthand writers who want to translate historical documents. There are many people who find their deceased grandmothers shorthand diary in the attic and have to track down someone to translate it. But if there were software that would be useful for people who want to keep the contents private. 10) I think it would have to have a wide tolerance for error. People's handwriting varies quiet a bit, and many writers make mistakes or develop idiosyncrasies which are incorrect to the system but they do nonetheless because they are writing only for themselves.

Oh, that's so funny! I don't think so, though. I think it comes from the dashes being the width of a capital letter M and N, but a very interesting observation !

I'll do another soon!

in the past stenographer, but today, it is mostly for personal note taking, and fun.

any requests?😆 (other than changing how I hold a pen)

@@shorthandist Something I think that is a common question among beginner Gregg users is which version to pick, a good idea is explaining each and how they differ from each other, pros and cons, similarities, etc. Perhaps maybe recommend one and talk about the version you use. idk man, there's many niche ideas when it comes to niche topics

@@burntoast7628 great idea!

Babe, wake up, new shorthandist dropped.

🥰

thats a tight window. there's a version of Gregg called "notehand" which is much pared down and faster to learn

I'll try to upload more regularly!

No worries and no stress. As long as you have the time and you are having fun, us over here, we will surely be happy to see a new video anytime you get to it. 🤗

I'll try to be more regular

Hay una versión en español de Gregg, el libro se llama Taquigrafia Gregg

@@shorthandist si, la carrera que escogí nos enseñan las dos

If you're adhering to the proper outlines from the system and dictionary, then no. That being said, I noticed when I was reading something that was a british translation that they left off all the "r" endings, and it confused me at first until I realized the person had a british accent 😆
