The process of writing in shorthand is stenography, from the
Greek stenos (narrow, close) and graphos (writing). It has also been
called brachygraphy and tachygraphy. Many forms of shorthand exist.
Typical shorthand systems provide symbols or abbreviations for words and
common phrases, which allow someone well trained in the system to write
as quickly as people speak
Shorthand was used more widely in the past, before the invention of
recording and dictation machines. Until recently, shorthand was
considered an essential part of secretarial training as well as being
useful for journalists. Although the primary use of shorthand has been
to record oral dictation or discourse, some systems are used for compact
expression. For example, health-care professionals may use shorthand
notes in medical charts and correspondence. Shorthand is also common in
the food service industry, allowing wait staff to write down detailed
orders without delay. Shorthand notes are typically temporary, intended
either for immediate use, or for later transcription to longhand.
