Forum du petit sténographe

Là par contre, les procédés abréviatifs pour les locutions à deux termes ou les constructions logiques sont exactement les mêmes.

On peut même symboliser des didascalies (commentaires sur le ton, l ...

Bonsoir Fanchon,

J'ai bien peur que ce projet inter-système soit voué à l'échec. La sténo Duployé n'emploie que deux sigles (abréviations conventionnelles) purement symboliques :

Bonjour Fanchon,

Tiens, tu me donnes une idée de concours (le gagnant aura mes salutations distinguées). La technologie étant sans cesse renouvelée, tu penses bien qu'en 1974, les téléphones mobile ...

Tom,

Nice surprise indeed! I wish I could help you with the missing pages, unfortunately I have only the French version of the books. Well, you've wetted my appetite, I may order the photocopies of ...

Interesting to note that what is good for shorthand isn't as good for longhand spelling. There's been quite a long debate over the so-called functional reading method here in France.

Well, thanks for your words of appraisal. I don't think I'll qualify for a teaching position anyway.

The document in line is published by the National Library (Bibliothèque Nationale). It's an old ...

Ok Tom,

Here comes the tricky part for me.
Yes, you got it right. Consonant signs have a fixed position and dimension, whereas vowel signs are mobile. The idea is to avoid angles at all costs, wh ...

Hi Tom,

I'm glad you found those little gems. You're lucky as they are very rare, at least on this side of the Atlantic.

Perrault's version was much faster than the original system, whether it ...

Yes Tom,

The book is based on the abbreviated version of Duployé's original system called "métagraphie."

It's aimed at French stenographers who want to take English as well without hav ...

Well, first of all welcome to this board, Tom!
As you have probably noticed, this forum is not specialized but everybody here loves shorthand and will be glad to welcome you. There is no competition ...

Le grand mérite de cette méthode, c'est qu'elle est libre de droits après tant d'années, et donc librement téléchargeable.

Est-ce suffisant pour en faire une méthode que les débutants utiliseront à ...
