Why It Is Important To Learn Shorthand

By Carla Price


Many people that they have to learn shorthand with the goal of speeding up their speed in writing. It is a method using symbols that can be used for fast note taking when it is required to remember a lecturer's words. Thus one will be able to fulfill their obligations by producing a report, article, or a letter with much of the data that are contained in the notes.

Picking out one of the various systems that exist is one of the steps one needs to take to learn shorthand. Next one will have to practice that system through a series of drills and exercises. These exercise will most likely be assigned by the instructor that heads the class one is attending.

Some of the characteristics that many of these systems usually have in common are unique treatments used for vowels, abbreviations for frequently used phrases or words, and the recording of the sounds of speech rather than the spelling. Thus one of the first required lessons is the learning of all those symbols that are used.

Another lesson one will have the opportunity to learn is how to omit the words that are superfluous. Thus allowing the speedy recording of the most important information one hears in order to be able to refer back to it if necessary.

One lesson that is also common to one of these course is the treatment of numbers. Thus one will have the chance to record any number without the slowing of one's recording speed which may cause the loss of other facts that may be vital. A distinct advantage for those who are expected to be accurate in what they report.

Having to learn shorthand for one's career will allow one to be more efficient at what they do once they have completed their courses. Their facts will also be more accurate in anything they will have to later report to those they are responsible to. Which will then give them a better chance at being properly recognized for a job well done.
