Pitman shorthand is a system of shorthand for the English language developed by Isaac Pitman (1813–1897), who first presented it in 1837. Like most systems of shorthand, it is a phonetic transcription system; the symbols do not represent letters, but rather sounds, and words are, for the most part, written as they are spoken.
