Shorthand is a system of writing using abbreviated symbols or simplified strokes that allow people to write much faster than standard handwriting or typing. It has been historically important for professions like court reporting and secretarial work where capturing speech quickly and accurately was essential.

thumb|right|upright|Dutch language|Dutch stenography using the "System Groote" Shorthand is an abbreviated symbolic writing method that increases speed and brevity of writing as compared to longhand, a more common method of writing a language. The process of writing in shorthand is called stenography, from the Greek stenos (narrow) and graphein (to write). It has also been called brachygraphy, from Greek brachys (short), and tachygraphy, from Greek tachys (swift, speedy), depending on whether compression or speed of writing is the goal.
