Palmer's writing system
Palmer's writing system, developed by Dr. Edward Palmer in the late 19th century, is a phonetic shorthand designed to capture spoken language quickly and efficiently. Using simple symbols to represent sounds, it allows users to write as they speak. This system is particularly useful for note-taking and transcription. Palmer emphasized ease of learning and speed of writing, making it accessible for everyday use. Unlike traditional scripts, which can be complex, Palmer's approach prioritizes clarity and efficiency, making it valuable for students, journalists, and anyone needing to document speech quickly.
