Stenography INTRODUCTION TO Mr. Noe Hombre  Greek: steganographia steganós (στεγανός), means "covered or concealed", graphia (γραφή), means "writing”  Stenography is the practice of concealing information within another message or physical object to avoid detection. Stenography can be used to hide virtually any type of digital content, including text, image, video, or audio content. That hidden data is then extracted at its destination. Who invented Stenography Samuel Taylor, a renowned British stenographer, invented a successful system in 1786, based on a predecessor's work, marking a significant advancement in the field. Sir Isaac Pitman, an educator who advocated spelling reform, published his Stenographic Sound-Hand in 1837, which incorporated writing by sound. The system, which included 25 single consonants, 24 double consonants, and 16 vowel sounds, was widely used in the United States and Canada. Irish-born John Robert Gregg, who taught himself an adaptation of Pitman's shorthand at age 10, later developed his own system at age 21. Gregg's system, Light-Line Phonography, was predominantly a curve-motion shorthand with circles, hooks, and loops. In 1893, Gregg introduced his system to the United States, and it became the predominant system taught in the United States. Gregg’s shorthand has been published in various languages, including English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Hebrew, Russian, Italian, Tagalog, Japanese, Thai, Chinese, Scottish Gaelic, Esperanto, Sinhalese, and Polish. Stenography IMPORTANCE OF IN MODERN SETTINGS Efficiency Shorthand allows individuals to quickly and accurately capture spoken information in real-time. This can be particularly useful in meetings, interviews, or taking notes during phone calls. By using shorthand, individuals can transcribe information more efficiently than writing in longhand. Confidentiality In some business settings, particularly those where sensitive or confidential information is being discussed, shorthand can be a more secure method of note-taking compared to digital alternatives. Shorthand notes are not as easily accessible to unauthorized individuals as digital files might be. Portability Shorthand notes can be taken quickly and easily on paper or in a notebook without the need for electronic devices or internet connectivity. This makes shorthand a convenient option for individuals who need to take notes on the go. Professionalism Using shorthand in a business setting can convey a sense of professionalism and dedication to accuracy. It shows that an individual is committed to capturing important information in a timely and efficient manner.
