stenografi

Stenografi is a method of speed writing that uses symbols or abbreviations to represent words, phrases, and letters. Its primary purpose is to enable individuals to record spoken language at the speed at which it is delivered, far faster than traditional handwriting. The development of stenography can be traced back centuries, with various systems emerging throughout history. Commonly, stenographic systems involve a simplified alphabet or phonetic representation where common words and word endings have specific shorthand characters. This allows for rapid inscription. The practice of stenography requires dedicated study and practice to master the specific symbols and rules of a chosen system. Historically, stenographers played a crucial role in fields such as law, journalism, and government, where accurate and rapid transcription of speeches, court proceedings, and interviews was essential. While the advent of digital recording devices has reduced the necessity for manual stenography in some areas, it remains a valuable skill in certain professional contexts and is still taught and practiced today. Different stenographic systems exist, each with its own unique set of symbols and principles.
