MiniScript Shorthand: Easy Alternative to Traditional Shorthand

Imagine being able to write twice as fast as you do now. You'd keep up easily when taking meeting minutes, fast notes in school or on the phone. - Existing shorthand systems provide non-alphabetical symbols or outlines for words and common phrases to increase the writing speed. A number of writing strokes is significantly reduced and a high speed can be attained. However, a great deal of time up to 2 years must be spent on memorization using such systems and retention is difficult. - On the other hand, speedwriting and note-taking methods use alphabet letters and are easier to learn. But they require two or three strokes to write a standard letter and can not match a writing speed attainable by non-alphabetical shorthand. - The MiniScript system is an alternative that combines both the simplicity of speed writing and a high writing speed of non-alphabetical shorthand. - MiniScript employs: a) a proven and popular EasyScript alphabet-based abbreviation methodology that reduces considerably the memorization volume by using a small set abbreviating rules and b) writing actual abbreviations with special symbols to attain writing speeds comparable to non-alphabetical shorthand. - If abbreviations are created using MiniScript method you will need to remember only a list of 9 special symbols as shown on Qwerty keyboard.For instance, letters A, B and C are written using the same special symbol by placing it on the top, middle and bottom line positions. - This combined approach of using EasyScript method and a small set of special characters will enable you increase your writing speed compared to alphabet-based systems. The MiniScript Shorthand book consists of: 1) studying EasyScript abbreviation method and 2) learning how to write EasyScript abbreviations with special symbols assigned to represent an individual alphabet letter. - Special symbols from the conventional QWERTY keyboard are used which are familiar to any person using a computer and require little or no training. - Purchase of an EasyScript book is not required to study MiniScript. www.easyscript.com.
