Pitman Shorthand is the art of representing spoken sounds by written signs. A way of representing every sound heard in English words. It is phonetic, using very simple strokes of the pen with sounds written down and not the letters. Vowel sounds are optional and are written with small dots and dashes next to the main strokes. In the majority of cases, consonants alone can identify an English word. It is a means of rapid writing.
Aim: To develop the note taking speed of students through the mastery of a set of shorthand outlines to represent the 24 consonants and 12 vowels. The theory would be presented in clear and easy stages and give adequate practice within a working vocabulary.
Objective: The learners have to understand every shorthand rule in each unit thoroughly and to follow the suggested practice plan. In shorthand, writing or dictating by sound, i.e., to write words as they are pronounced; that each simple character represents one definite sound and no other and that the ordinary spelling — with its many irregularities and inconsistencies — as exhibited in printing and in long-hand writing, is not to be followed or imitated. Thus, the end result will be a more accurate interpretation of any conversation, presentation, announcement, etc…
Till date, SHORTHAND course remains one of the more sought after by staff of law firms, reporters of news agency, secretarial & administrative professionals and others where accurate and speedy dictation is one of the key tasks.
