Why It May Be Important To Learn Shorthand

By Alfred Alvarez


Many have a job that requires that they have the ability to write quickly and as a consequence they learn shorthand. Thus they can take the notes during a lecture that are required through the use of a method of symbolic writing. Thus they can use the information preserved to produce an article, correspondence, or report for those they have obligations to.

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.

The ability to learn shorthand will allow one to have the efficiency at doing their work many desire. Thus when the courses have been completed their reporting of many facts will be more accurate. Thus one will be in a better position to be recognized for their work in the best way.
