“…A number of different formulations of the dynamic programming algorithm have been experimented with (Leedham and Downton, 1987;Nair, 1990;Nair and Leedham, 1991b). The results obtained give a correct recognition rate of over 96% for a set of ninety different shortforms.…”

“…We have been investigating the automatic recognition and transcription of Pitman's shorthand for a number of years (Brooks, 1985;Leedham and Downton, 1984and 1987Leedham 1985 andQiao and Leedham, 1989;Nair, 1990). The handwritten script is digitized by a digitizing writing tablet and attached special pen thus detecting and recording the pen movement and writing pressure during writing.…”

In this article we consider speech, keyboards and handwriting as mechanisms for direct text entry into computer, justify the use of Pitman's handwritten shorthand as a potentially high speed machine compatible text input medium and describe our work on the automatic recognition and transcription of Pitman's handwritten shorthand. It is concluded that handwriting offers a potentially attractive means of entering text into computer and that Pitman's handwritten shorthand exhibits many features of a machinography or machine compatible script.

“…Many journalists use shorthand writing to quickly take notes at press conferences or other similar scenarios. Shorthand was used more widely in the past, before the invention of recording and dictation machines [3]. Shorthand was considered an essential part of secretarial training and police work, as well as useful for journalists.…”

“…For example, healthcare professionals may use shorthand notes in medical charts and correspondence. Shorthand notes are typically temporary, intended either for immediate use or for later typing, data entry, or (mainly historically) transcription to longhand, although longer term uses do exist, such as encipherment: diaries (like that of the famous Samuel Pepys) being a common example [3].…”

Abstract-Manually written shorthand frameworks were contrived to empower essayists to record data on paper at quick speeds, preferably at the speed of discourse. While they have been in presence for a long time it is just since the seventeenth Century that across the board utilization showed up. A few shorthand frameworks thrived until the presentation what's more, across the board utilization of electronic recording and correspondence machines in the 1970's. From that point forward, shorthand utilization has been in fast decrease, yet has not yet turned into a lost aptitude. Pitman shorthand has been appeared to have extraordinary focal points as a methods for quick content passage which is especially pertinent to hand-held gadgets in portable situations. This paper presents advance and basic research issues for a Pitman/Renqun Shorthand Online Recognition System. For discovery of such shorthand canny edge identifier is utilized. Acknowledgment and interpretation trials are accounted for which show a right acknowledgment and translation rate of around 90% is at present conceivable.
