The MiniScript system is an alternative that combines both the simplicity of speedwriting and a high writing speed of non-alphabetical shorthand. MiniScript employs: a) a proven and popular EasyScript alphabet-based abbreviation methodology that reduces considerably the memorization volume by using a small set abbreviating rules and b) writing actual abbreviations with special symbols to attain writing speeds comparable to non-alphabetical shorthand.
If abbreviations are created using EasyScript method you will need to remember only a list of 9 special symbols representing English alphabet. To reduce the number of symbols required to memorize one symbol is used for three letters. For instance, letters A, B and C are written using ‘.’ by placing it on the top, middle and bottom line positions.
As a result, this combined approach of using EasyScript method and a small set of non-alphabetical symbols will enable you increase your writing speed compared to alphabet-based systems.
To achieve a high writing speed and process spoken information effectively at the speed it is generated any MiniScript abbreviation should be three symbols per word.
As described above, MiniScript consists of two components: 1) EasyScript (ES) alphabet-based abbreviation methodology that reduces considerably the memorization volume by using a small set abbreviating rules and 2) writing actual abbreviations with special symbols to attain writing speeds comparable to non-alphabetical shorthand.
Consequently, mastering MiniScript is a two-step process consisting of: 1) studying EasyScript abbreviation method and 2) learning how to write EasyScript abbreviations with non-alphabetical special symbols assigned to represent an individual alphabet letter. Special symbols from the conventional QWERTY keyboard are used which are familiar to any person using a computer and require little or no training.
