Modern notepad
The modern notation is a cursive shorthand , which means that the phonetic signs used are parts of the ordinary script (long script). It was developed by the mathematician Werner Frangen (1929–2015) between 1947 and 2007 and was first published in 1992. The author himself achieves a writing speed of 130 syllables per minute.
The trigger for the development was the dissatisfaction with the traditional stenography systems Deutsche Einheitskurzschrift (DEK) and the leading Stolze-Schrey system in Switzerland . The consonants are shaped smears or loops, the meanings of which partly coincide with those of the DEK or Stolze-Schrey. There are comparatively many characters for consonant sequences. All characters for consonant + r are formed by enlarging the base character.
It differs from the systems mentioned in two properties:
- The most common consonants are represented by smaller dashes. In particular consonant + two-stage Aufstrich- is t usually by a simple line replaced. Therefore she needs fewer and shorter writing movements; this is confirmed by a text sample. A writing space of three levels per line is sufficient (instead of four in all DEK textbooks).
- The vowels are sometimes literally denoted by strokes and horizontal flat lines, partly symbolically by different connection widths and height adjustments, but not by reinforcement, which the author considers indistinct when writing quickly. According to the author, this makes access easier, as this medium is unfamiliar in terms of longhand. The system can also be written with writing implements with which the amplification is difficult or impossible to work out. Eight vowels are represented by straight connecting lines. Only ö , ü and eu / äu are represented by curved connecting lines, after straight and left-hand consonant signs with straight lines crossing through. According to experts, however, curved spreads are hardly more pronounced than the reinforcement. On the other hand, the curved spreads are far less common than the reinforcements in the DEK.
The author considers his system (because of 2.) easier to learn than the DEK and justifies this, among other things, with the smaller size of his textbook. In addition, the space requirement (because of 1.) is lower.
