Introduction
to
Forkner
The equation:
speedwriting = stenography
For optimal speedwriting,
only what is heard is written.
Of many kinds of stenography
(steno) in the
world, Forkner
is con-
sidered the simplest and because of
that, the
most popular.
The name of this form
of stenography
(or
speedwriting) is derived from the
name of it's creator,
Dr. Hamdem L.
Forkner
Sr. who introduced it in
1952.
Stenographs:
sound-based letters
Dr. Hamden L. Forkner, Sr. in 1952
used the
English alphabet to create
sound-based letters
(stenographs)
some of which are capitalized to
which he added a few
line symbols
(some straight and some curved)
of his own and some punctuation
marks
to invent his own brand of
speedwriting know as Forkner
stenography.
There are two (2) kinds of stenographs:
1.
jointed
(attached);
2.
disjointed
(unattached) when repla-
__cing word particles like affixes
__(prefix/suffix syllables).
To achieve
even greater speedwriting
words
can
be combined provided there
are no disjointed
stenographs.
For optimal speedwriting
only a minimum
of stenographs
can be used to
provide a
vocal
sketch
(sound outline)
of a
sentence.
Key: Speed
By transcribing the sound outline of
words
and
sentences (rather than
every sound) and by combining words
as much as possible, a person can
develop
his/her own an elliptical style
of Forkner
transcription
that is very
fast.
Avoid using "too few" stenographs
otherwise the
transcription becomes
indecipherable when being typed.
The use of these various speedwriting
techniques make Forkner stenography
an art
rather than
a science.
The key to mastering speedwriting
is to practice
whenever you get a
chance.

The Fewer: the Better
For optimal speedwriting use as few
stenographs as possible
so long as
it can
be read when typed.
K+ Steno-exercise-table
Designed to
present stenographs
in a
graduated
fashion for quick,
easy learning, it's to be used
for
practice transcribing the model-
word
in the
right-hand column
that
illustrates the stenograph
described
in the
middle
column
which replaces the
letters
in the
left-hand
column.
The kit comes with the K+ Steno-
exercise-table
for practice tran-
scription of individual stenographs
while K+
Steno-table
(which comes
with the transcription of words in
the
right-hand
column)
for verifying
whether the
word was transcribe
correctly serves as
the answer
key.
These two (2) tables make
learning
speedwriting fun, fast, and easy.
In fact, the K+ Steno-exercise-table
forms the basis of the K+ Steno-
method.
