The BREVITY Analyzer

Tom Fernicola's four-technique system for stenographic keystroke reduction.
301 Documented Word Comparisons with Mathematical Analysis

This tool analyzes your court reporting transcript and shows how many keystrokes you could save by writing it with the BREVITY system. It scans your text for words that BREVITY shortens, compares them against traditional steno theory, and calculates your total potential key savings — so you can see exactly how much faster and easier your writing could be.

What is a Key?

A key is each press on your steno machine when writing a word. Fewer keys means easier, more efficient writing with less fatigue.
