Quotes about BakerWrite โI will use this system all the time.โ โThis is so easy to learn and use.โ โI am thoroughly enjoying learning a new skill from a book that is so simple to understand and I have already started to implement it."

Having studied all the major shorthand systems and even other speed writing courses, I find BakerWrite a sheer delight.โ โI will recommend this course to anyone who takes notes.โ Review: An easier way to shorten note-taking - If you don't want to spend the time that learning shorthand takes, speedwriting is a great alternative. It's very intuitive and so the learning curve is short. The author also shows you how to develop your own personal tricks. Review: Simple, Smart, and Surprisingly Effective - This book offers a practical and easy-to-learn alternative to traditional shorthand. Speed Writing Modern Shorthand breaks things down in a straightforward way, making it accessible even if youโve never used any shorthand system before. The method is clean, intuitive, and works well for fast note-taking, dictation, or organizing thoughts during meetings and interviews. I was surprised by how quickly I picked it up, and even more surprised by how often I now use it. If you want a faster way to write without diving into old-school Gregg or Pitman, this is a great option. The only drawback for me is the price. At just 114 pages with advertising, and considering the age of this book, as well as the need to purchase a few companion books to make the set most useful, I think the price is a bit too high. But I wanted to learn and I still bought it.

GREATLY MISREPRESENTED
THIS BOOK IS GREATLY MISREPRESENTED IT NO MORE TEACHES YOU HOW TO WRITE SHORT HAND THAN HOW TO MILK A COW. IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO LEAVE VOWELS OUT OF WORDS BUT THAT IS ALL IT WILL DO. THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS BOOK THAT WILL IN ANY WAY OR SHAPE TEACH YOU THE FIRST THING ABOUT SHORT HAND. DO NOT I REPEAT BUY THIS BOOK THINKING IT WILL TEACH YOU ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH SHORT HAND. A HUGE WASTE OF MONEY AND I BOUGHT 2 COPIES
