Reformed Phonetic Short-Hand
- Reformed Phonetic Short-Hand
Reformed Phonetic Short-Hand is an obscure form of shorthand described in a book entitled "Marsh's Manual of Reformed Phonetic Short-Hand: Being a Complete Guide to the Best System of Phonography and Verbatim Reporting" published by H.H. Bancroft & Company in 1868.
It is a geometric system using straight lines and arcs written horizontally, vertically or diagonally to represent consonants. Vowels are represented by short dashes and dots placed in prescribed positions relative to the consonant outline. As with the Pitman method, upon which Marsh's method seems to be based, closely related consonants are written with the same outlines differentiated by thickness. Extensive lists of special outlines and abbreviated forms result in an extremely compact system of transcription.
