WELCOME AND THANK YOU FOR VISITING

Pitman's New Era: Welcome and thank you for visiting!

Free resource for Pitman's New Era Shorthand

My aim with this website is to provide existing Pitman's writers with material to progress beyond the basics instruction book, in order to achieve high speed and write with accuracy, reliability and legibility.

The Theory pages consist of detailed explanations with very many examples, and are aimed at revision and improvement for existing writers and teachers rather than beginners to learn from, as they are not graded as instruction books are. Beginners are directed to the Lessons website.

New Era is the current and fastest version of Pitman's Shorthand. It dates from 1922 and was preceded by Centenary and Twentieth Century editions, which are now considered historical. It was followed in 1970 by Pitman 2000 which was a slightly more simplified and slower version for office workers. Pitman 2000 writers may benefit from the Dictation MP3s and the Contractions, Phrasing and Distinguishing Outlines pages, where they may find outlines that are speedier or more convenient than some of their existing ones.

A shorthand dictionary is essential for learning and improvement. There are also many thousands of outlines available on this site and the reading site, and the Search Box gives a good chance of finding the one you are looking for, as all outlines have their text equivalent underneath them.
