change your working practises - for the better What do people think
of this speed writing system? "BakerWrite is the easiest shorthand
system I have come across. Having studied all the major shorthand
systems and even other speed writing courses, I find BakerWrite a
sheer delight." "I will use this system all the time." "Your system
is so easy to learn and use." "I will recommend this course to
everyone who takes notes." "I am 51 years old and have been a
secretary more or less since I left school. I took the requisite
Pitmans shorthand course whilst at school and have never been able
to understand it, all those squiggles and lines. I have used my own
speed writing version of words through the years and have managed
to get by (as long as I dealt with the notes as soon as I had
written them and the dictator wasn't too quick - so it was half
memory and half being able to read my own shorthand version). But
now, everything is so clear and makes complete sense. I take your
book on the train every morning and even after the first reading it
completely made sense and I could even remember most of what I had
read in the first chapter and believe me my memory at retaining new
info is not as it used to be. Even when I was reading your
abbreviations I was able to see what they were in a lot of cases
before I checked the meaning. I am thoroughly enjoying learning a
new "skill" from a book that is so simple to understand and I have
already started to implement my new dictionary of words when taking
notes. A great big thank you for developing a system that is so
easy to understand and completely workable and I looking forward to
"showing off" my new skills when taking notes (which I will
actually be able to understand) at the next board meeting." Ann,
