Synopsis

• Imagine being able to write twice as fast as you do now. You'd keep up easily when taking meeting minutes, fast notes in school or on the phone.
• Existing shorthand systems provide non-alphabetical symbols or outlines for words and common phrases to increase the writing speed. A number of writing strokes is significantly reduced and a high speed can be attained. However, a great deal of time up to 2 years must be spent on memorization using such systems and retention is difficult.
• On the other hand, speedwriting and note-taking methods use alphabet letters and are easier to learn. But they require two or three strokes to write a standard letter and can not match a writing speed attainable by non-alphabetical shorthand.
• The MiniScript system is an alternative that combines both the simplicity of speed writing and a high writing speed of non-alphabetical shorthand.
• MiniScript employs: a) a proven and popular EasyScript alphabet-based abbreviation methodology that reduces considerably the memorization volume by using a small set abbreviating rules and b) writing actual abbreviations with special symbols to attain writing speeds comparable to non-alphabetical shorthand.
• If abbreviations are created using MiniScript method you will need to remember only a list of 9 special symbols as shown on Qwerty keyboard.For instance, letters A, B and C are written using the same special symbol by placing it on the top, middle and bottom line positions.
• This combined approach of using EasyScript method and a small set of special characters will enable you increase your writing speed compared to alphabet-based systems. The MiniScript Shorthand book consists of: 1) studying EasyScript abbreviation method and 2) learning how to write EasyScript abbreviations with special symbols assigned to represent an individual alphabet letter.
• Special symbols from the conventional QWERTY keyboard are used which are familiar to any person using a computer and require little or no training.
• Purchase of an EasyScript book is not required to study MiniScript. www.easyscript.com.
