Speed Writing - the 21st Century Alternative to Shorthand Most people need a note taking system for work or study but few people have the time or inclination to spend a year or two learning shorthand.
I am thoroughly enjoying learning a new skill from a book that is so simple to understand and I have already started to i.
Even when I was reading your abbreviations I was able to see what they were in a lot of cases before I checked the meaning.
I take your book on the train every morning and even after the first reading it completely made sense and I could even remember most of what I had read in the first chapter and believe me my memory at retaining new info is not as it used to be.
But now, everything is so clear and makes complete sense.
I have used my own Speed Writing version of words through the years and have managed to get by (as long as I dealt with the notes as soon as I had written them and the dictator wasn\'t too quick - so it was half memory and half being able to read my own Shorthand version).
I took the requisite Pitmans Shorthand course whilst at school and have never been able to understand it, all those squiggles and lines.
I am 51 years old and have been a secretary more or less since I left school.
I will recommend this course to everyone who takes notes.
Your system is so easy to learn and use.
I will use this system all the time.
Having studied all the major Shorthand systems and even other Speed Writing courses, I find BakerWrite a sheer delight.
