La #sténographie, c'est merveilleux quand on est #gaucher mais qu'on aime écrire sans s'en mettre partout.
Par conter, après une bonne semaine d'essai, je crois que non, je reste sur #orthic, car Duployé est trop ambigu à la lecture et la sténographie phonétique, c'est pas si fou.
Reste tout de même à modifier le "u" qui rend les textes disgracieux 🙄
Still iterating on my personal variant of #orthic #shorthand which feels like it doesn’t even remotely resemble the original anymore.
I’ve been using it so much that when I went to write in my journal last night, I found it very difficult to not keep slipping into it.
I don’t want to use it for journaling until I have gotten to a point where it feels more stable.
Right now, I have a key at the top of every page so that I know what iteration the text below was done in .
So far, I am reasonably happy with v1.10 of my version of #orthic #shorthand
I need more time using it before I decide if this is the version I will share with others
re is it hard to learn? I've dived into a bunch of systems now and how hard each one is to learn varies wildly. #Orthic is trivial to learn. The first stage of it is just a straight up letter swap really. Ex. Instead of writing "A" you write "-" but in a joined-up cursive format.
phonetic systems are a little harder because now you're writing a symbol for a sound (phoneme) instead of for a letter. Depending on the phonetic system this can feel awkward.

#shorthand
Practicing version 1.6 of my tweaked version of #orthic #shorthand with a lap cat while waiting for our window to go pick up groceries.
I’m pretty happy with it. I don’t think it’s quite ready to be released because there are a couple letters that still bug me. But I think it’s definitely usable at this point.
Still practicing #shorthand there were some problems i was having with #orthic so i tried tweaking and swapping some characters. So far it’s a significant improvement (to my 🧠) but i still want to replace O and D with some single width thing. Also U annoys me. Too similar to E
Anyway, here’s a sample of some more Esperanto in it.
I just did another couple of #orthic #shorthand speed tests and I’m really surprised that my speed hasn’t gone up very much in the past month. It’s actually about the same???
But at the same time I’ve been feeling a lot faster, and like forms are coming to me weight having to think about them as much. I’m even getting a bit of Tetris effect when writing longhand and getting frustrated that I have to write the full word out.
My guess is that text copying is its own kind of speed challenge, as opposed to writing my own thoughts, which I’m sure is going way faster now.
I just did a quick speed test on myself, and I managed to write #Orthic #shorthand at ~14wpm! (up from 8wpm last time I tested myself about 4 weeks ago)
going up slowly but surely! Adopting Ordinary Style abbreviations is definitely helping. Things go way faster when I hit words that use them.
For reference: my fastest longhand speed (and I write pretty fast) is ~24wpm.
So once I cross that threshold, I'll be in new territory. I'm excited.
Took me more than an hour and a half to do my weekly #bujo #BulletJournal weekly reflection tonight because I decided to write the entire thing in #Orthic 🤓🤡
Now my hand hurts and I have a full page of alien language.
I do like that the other thing I do each week is I pick about 4 pictures of my daughter from the past week that I liked, print them with my little sticker printer, and put them in a page in my journal. It’s gonna be really nice someday looking back and paging through all of these 🥰
