INTRODUCTION
Welcome to your studies in Machine Shorthand. This Instructional Material (IM) is

designed to reinforce machine shorthand theory with emphasis on taking dictation with speed and
accuracy. The course introduces the student to Machine Shorthand keyboard, theory and to initial
speed development. Through touch control of the keyboard, the students write phonetically all
sounds that make up the English language. In this course, also, students are expected to
complete the basic theory of techniques for writing sounds, in combinations of letters of the
alphabet, on the keyboard of a touch shorthand machine; to increase their recording speeds; and
to expand typewritten transcription practice. Machines are part of the classroom equipment. The
guide outlines performance objectives, course content, suggested procedures, strategies,
learning activities, evaluative instruments, and resources for students and teachers.
Happy learning!
Course Requirement/s:
1. Students will complete the learning activities as assigned.
2. At the end of the semester, students will return the instructional materials
for evaluation and grading purposes.

• Review of PUP Vision and Mission, Philosophy, Strategic Objectives (8-Point Agenda)
and Shared Values
• CBA Vision, Mission, Goals, Objectives and Core Values
• BSOA Objectives
• Job Targets Local and International
• Course Content, Requirements and Expectations
II. First Grading
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
• Apply the correct posture
• Build knowledge of Machine Shorthand keyboard and theory
• Manipulate the machine shorthand
• Understand the overview of introducing the keyboard
• Demonstrate familiarization on typing letters and consonants
Lesson 1
A. What is a Machine Shorthand?
The lightweight and portable shorthand machine has only 22 keys. Not all
the letters of the alphabet are represented on the keyboard and the
missing letters are recorded by pressing a combination of keys. The
keyboard requires only a light touch, is completely silent, and can produce
shorthand well in excess of 250 words a minute. Words are reproduced
as shorthand notes by breaking them into syllables and these are
represented by a combination of letters. The use of abbreviations and
phrases increases writing speed.
Machine shorthand has been used since World War I when teenage
students, after just a few months’ practice, scooped most of the prizes at
the United States shorthand speed championships, and out-performed by far the experienced
pen-writing reporters who also competed. Immediate transcription of
the machine shorthand notes is made possible by computer-aided
transcription (CAT). Computer software translates the shorthand and
displays the text on a computer screen ready for editing before it is
printed. CAT provides a printed transcript within minutes of the
reporting of court evidence, parliamentary debate, business
correspondence or meeting proceedings. In recent times,
developments in technology have further assisted the reporting
2
professions. Realtime reporting permits simultaneous
transcription of the spoken word, as the shorthand notes are
translated into written text on a computer screen now of writing.
Thus, real-time reporting allows participants in courts,
parliamentary and business settings to view the transcript
instantly.
Realtime writers are also engaged in producing captioning or
subtitles for the broadcast industry. Captions allow people to read the spoken word on television,
allowing greater access for consumers. Since January 2001 legislation in Australia has required
the captioning of television programs across free-to-air and subscription networks.
Shorthand writers also provide CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) or live-event
writing services. CART provides a complete translation of all spoken words and environmental
sounds for the benefit of an individual or larger group anywhere where communication access is
needed, including classrooms, lectures, religious services, conventions and conferences.
B. Introduction of Correct Posture
SITTING POSITION AT THE SHORTHAND MACHINE
Place your machine on its tripod. The machine on tripod gives the
correct height for its use and will protect your hands from possible
over-use injury. Do not use the machine on a table or desk as these
are too high.
Sit back in your chair with feet flat on the floor, one ahead of the
other. Place the machine within
comfortable reach so you do not
stretch forward to the keyboard.
The height of the machine
should allow the forearms to
remain parallel with the floor
when the hands are placed with
fingers curved over the
keyboard.
The arms are relaxed and held close to the body. The
operation of the machine will be through the fingers and wrists,
with fingers moving from key to key with minimum hand
motion.
3
C. Appropriate Machine Manipulation
1. THREADING THE MACHINE (Click this link for actual demonstration

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB5a3YxV2FU)
Place the machine on its tripod (see illustration on

later page). Grasp the knob on the paper tray at the
back of the machine and pull the paper tray out as far
as it will go.
Remove the wrapper from the pad of folded paper.

Take the pad in one hand and gently tap the pad
against the palm of other hand to fan the paper and
loosen the folds.
Place the pad into the extended tray. Either side of

the pad can be used. In fact, for practice purposes, it is economic to use each side of the paper,
so you can reverse the pad once it has been run through the machine.
Pick up the loose end of the top sheet of paper and place the edge to the bottom of the platen,
that is, the rubber roller situated at the center back of the machine. Roll the roller away from you
to feed the paper through.
Push back the paper holder and thread one-fold of paper through, to ensure the correct feeding
of the balance of the pad.
Push the balance of the pad to the front of the machine, leaving the tray fully extended to receive
the folded paper as you take dictation.
2. REMOVING PAPER FROM THE MACHINE (OPTIONAL, for ACTUAL DEMONSTRATION)
At the end of a practice session, carefully tear your notes from the unused paper at a convenient
fold and unthread the paper by pushing the paper holder away from the roller and removing the
paper from under the paper holder and from the roller.
It is very important to unthread the paper at the end of a practice session. Paper left over the roller
acts like a sponge and may soak up ink which will cause damage to the roller.
The unused paper may be left in the tray which must be closed to allow replacing the machine in
its case.
3. CARE OF THE SHORTHAND MACHINE
To keep your machine free of dust, return it to its case, (or place a cover over it) at the end of
practice sessions. Do not let your machine become dry from lack of ink. Test for proper inking by
resting your right hand on the full stop (FPLT) for an instant. If the machine is properly inked, the
letters will appear dark and clean cut. With insufficient ink, you may develop the tendency to press
the keys harder than necessary in order to make them print.
4
If your notes are not clear and dark, remove the top plate of the machine and add a drop of ink to
each spool hole. Within 2 or 3 minutes, the ink will have been absorbed by the ink pad. A few
turns of the spool will then re-ink the ribbon. Repeat the inking process if necessary. Take care
not to over-ink the ribbon lest the ink flow into the working parts of the machine. Do not turn your
machine over immediately after inking.
D. Introduction of the Keyboard
The shorthand machine requires a light, two handed operation. This prevents physical strain and
fatigue and allows the reporter to reach dictation speeds well in excess of the limits of pen
shorthand. The basis of machine shorthand is that words are written according to SOUND and
not the way the words are spelled. Silent letters are omitted. Syllables and whole words are
written in one stroke on the machine, and the machine spaces automatically after each stroke is
written.
From the keyboard chart above, you will see that the machine keyboard is divided into three
sections:
INITIAL CONSONANTS, (to the left of the center asterisk) begin words and syllables and are
operated with the fingers of the left hand. S, T, P, H, K, W, K, R
5
FINAL CONSONANTS, (to the right of the asterisk), finish words and syllables, and are
operated with fingers of the right hand. F, P, L, T, D, R, B, G, S, Z
The VOWELS at the center lower section of the keyboard are operated with the two thumbs—
vowels A and O are controlled by the LEFT THUMB and vowels E and U are controlled by the
RIGHT thumb.
The missing letters on the keyboard are supplied by using combinations of other letters. These
Initial and Final combinations are set out on the full-page illustration of the keyboard which follows.
Each of the 21 letters, (and the asterisk), prints on the paper tape in its own position, and this
position never changes. For example, the initial letter S always appears farthest to the left of the
paper tape, and the final Z always appears farthest to the right of the tape. If all the letters were
to appear simultaneously they would look like this:
STKPWHRAO*EUFRPBLGTSDZ
This unique arrangement of the keys on the shorthand machine keyboard allows the writing of a
complete word or syllable in one stroke, in similar fashion to playing a simple piano chord. When
writing words which require more than one stroke, the words will be written on more than one line.

E. Home Position
PLACEMENT OF FINGERS ON THE KEYBOARD
1. Copy the Machine Shorthand Keyboard on a cardboard and use it as your

improvised-keyboard. Do the following as you get acquainted with the keyboard.
2. Your slightly curved fingers should be placed in the home position on the keyboard as
follows:
3. The fingers of the left hand are placed over the crack between the upper and lower rows
of the four initial consonant keys. (See Figures 1 & 2)
4. Disregard the asterisk key and place the right-hand fingers over the cracks between the
four upper and lower rows of the final consonant keys. The fifth final consonant keys (D
and Z) remain uncovered. (The little finger of the right hand controls these keys as well
as its home keys.) (refer to Figures 1 & 2 )
5. The thumbs are placed in a slight diagonal across the vowel keys (the left thumb across
A and O, the right thumb across E and U). (See Figures 1 & 2)

KEY STROKING
The stroke is from the finger and wrist and not from the arm. Keep all the fingers, (except the ones
being used) in position and close to the keyboard. Speed comes from proper finger control, and
lack of unnecessary motion.
Clean, clear outlines are obtained with a quick but firm touch with the tip of the finger. Release
the key immediately and do not rest on the key or push down on the key as you stroke. To do so
increases stress on your fingers and hands and inhibits your speed-building capacity. Faint or
shadowed letter outlines indicate incorrect key stroking technique.
Do not pound the keyboard. The type bars are less than 2 mm. from the rubber roller. A very light
pressure is enough to depress any key lever. Use a soft, light, relaxed stroke – to save both your
own energy, and the mechanism of the machine.
The machine spaces automatically as keys are released. Try to write by touch and not look at
your fingers, or the machine, or the paper tape. Your aim is to write by touch, however, it is quite
acceptable, and necessary, during the first two or three months that you will need to refer to the
Keyboard Chart.
GETTING STARTED
You are now ready to begin your first lesson, Chapter One of the Machine Shorthand Theory. The
