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 be able to use this system always.” “Your system is so easy to learn and use.” “I will be able to 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 at the same time as 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 needless to say 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 used to be reading your abbreviations I used to be able to see what they were in numerous 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 be able to actually be able to understand) at the next board meeting.” Ann, Knightsbridge, London About the author – Heather Baker Heather had over twenty years’ experience as a secretary and PA before setting up Baker Thompson Associates Limited in 2000.
