Alpha Shorthand Systems
Comparison of Keyscript with other Alphabetical Shorthand Systems
I have often boasted that Keyscript is the fastest fully
alphabetical shorthand. Well, let us see and compare.
The number of characters is given (in brackets) after each passage.
PERSONAL SHORTHAND (or Briefhand)
Dear Sir: In reply to your request of March 5, several of our sales
catalogues are being shipped to you, under separate cover. Thank
you for your interest in our organization. We appreciate your help.
If we can be of further service, let us know. Sincerely, (212)

The number of associates signed up for this program has considerably
exceeded our expectations. Although this training was targeted for
secretaries, associates with a wide variety of job titles have registered. (180)

Time Management
It has been said that each of us has the same amount of time available.
This is true, but some people get their work accomplished with time
to spare while others do not. (137)

Speedwriting seems to be mainly a handwritten shorthand. The 'ts' are
not crossed, hence its representation, here, by 'l'. Nor are the 'is' dotted,
though in typing it, I had no choice.

T-SCRIPT (Keyboard Version)
This is a new approach to writing shorthand. A multi-level method
designed for different user needs, but using a common core of
abbreviation rules. One level for the professional shorthand writer
and another, Alpha-level, for occasional note-taking at meetings
and in classes. The Keyboard version can be typed on a standard
computer keyboard. This is a simple and versatile method for the
twenty-first century. (348)

Dutton SpeedWords works both as a shorthand system and as an
international auxiliary language.
Teach yourself Dutton SpeedWords", by Reginald Dutton, the English Universities Press Ltd. (p.30).
If anyone has an example of any other alphabetical shorthand system,
I would be very happy if you would send it to me, so I can include it here.
You can email me at cheeseman@westnet.com.au
The example must consist of a sentence or sentences like the examples
above, not just a list of words, and be capable of being typed on a
standard Roman keyboard. Please include the longhand transcription
and the URL or book reference.
