What kind of shorthand is the best?

Answer 1

For me, Gregg shorthand is the best. You can incorporate your own style later to remember long words or sentences you often need to transcribe.

Answer 2

Best Shorthand System

Answer 3

It's a shorthand that is often used to speed up their typing of text messages and instant messages. It has become a form of slang. In the example you provided, the person sounds young and immature, and probably doesn't realize how inappropriate it is to use that shorthand in this context.

Answer 5

Gregg shorthand

Answer 6

Excluding Gregg & Pittman shorthand techniques which you would have to learn formally, the quickest shorthand system is combination of blogger-speak and acronyms. It is an "obvious" shorthand.

Answer 7

Gregg shorthand is the most popular and the most practical but for every day use, try using abreviations or learnign a little bit of Gregg to help you speed up your writing.

Answer 8

Gregg is pretty much the recognized standard. My father turned me on to it years ago when I was still in Grade school. He was an executive of a major corporation and he learned it so he could take notes in real-time during meetings (OK, this was before tape recorders, but you don't always have one of those around these days either).

Anyway, I managed to learn it pretty well and still use it from time to time when I'm talking to some customer service type and they are rattling off instructions. To me it was worth the effort and it's been just as valuable a skill as my 80 plus WPM typing speed.

Answer 9

Greg Shorthand, by all means.

Answer 10

I know this is an old post but its still at the top of google search so to anyone who wants to learn greg or pitmans here is a 'text to shorthand converter/translater'. http://steno.tu-clausthal.de/Gregg.php

also i used these sentences from Tim Ferriss's ted video on learning languages to get started. they made it really quick and easy to get the basics down (an hour)

the apple is red
it is johns apple
i give john the apple
we give him the apple
he gives it to john
she gives it to him
is the apple red?
the apples are red
i must give it to him
i want to give it to her
im going to know tomorrow
i cant eat the apple
i have eaten the apple

and here is a site that explains why you do the squigglies the way you do so you'le be capable of predicting how to squiggle new words you havnt seen yet.
