Pitman shorthand, sometimes called phonography, a system of shorthand stenography developed by Isaac Pitman
Reformed Phonetic Short-Hand is an obscure form of shorthand described in a book titled Marsh's Manual of Reformed Phonetic Short-Hand: Being a Complete Guide to the Best System of Phonography and Verbatim Reporting published by H.H. Bancroft & Company in 1868.
During this time, he became interested in phonography, a popular type of shorthand system then being used in Great Britain, and soon developed his own system.
