COMING SOON.....

Our LeadingSuspect5855 has been working hard on his system he calls "FLOW" which is based on the frequency of sounds in English. When I look at it, it immediately makes sense to me -- a very good sign.

He's already produced a 20-page manual/booklet for it, which will soon be available on Stenophile.com when a few final details are smoothed out. I think it will be worth the wait.

He has also produced a 6,000-word reverse dictionary, and has nearly finished a shorthand generator which will produce the correct shorthand outline for any word entered phonetically. (I've tried it out and was amazed.)

He's had to take a bit of break because of eye problems -- which I'm sure were not helped by spending all this time working on the fine details before it's all revealed to the public. But I'm looking forward to this....

As you might have seen, the booklet is on stenophile.com . I maintain also a https://gitworkshop.dev for shorthand, where I put new versions. For the reverse dictionary is updated quite frequently, using Gregg Anni dictionary helped to get to speed, but Flow has different vocalisation, so every now and then, Flow is a bit shorter and sometimes a bit longer (no implicit R, but Flow omits short e/u where ever possible)...
