A framework for designing and using shorthand fonts.

The website is hosted at https://jvita.github.io/abbrv

If you are only interested in using abbrv for designing a shorthand system, a good place to start is with the help page

Note that in order to submit your system to the public repository, you will need to make a GitHub account if you don't already have one.

To render text as shorthand to a PDF, use generate_pdf.py:

python generate_pdf.py static/data/systems/orthic input.txt output.pdf
python generate_pdf.py static/data/systems/orthic input.txt output.pdf --beginner  # shows text labels

This repository is entirely open-source, so feel free to create your own fork, add any desired features, then open a PR to merge your work.

All contributions are welcome, no matter your skill level as a programmer!
