Syncing your Substr view...
The booklet has the same structure as the famous Review of Gregg Shorthand Principles (1949, US Civil Service Comission).
On twenty pages it teaches you basic practical stuff like how to string the literals of 'Flow' together, offers blends of literals (for frequent syllables), Pre-/Suffixes, when to add them directly (string it), when to add some of them adjacent.
The booklet covers more advanced stuff too like phrasing (Meaningful snippets of a sentence, that can be written in one go, without lifting the pen). An example would be: 'I am not', 'as far as i know', 'to be done', 'Good morning/afternoon/evening, ladies and gentlemen.' Currently in review, will be published on the best site for shorthand lovers: https://www.stenophile.com
Since it is so new or even 'alien' for the uninitiated I made use of a shorthand generator from a shorthand collegue and created the instructions how to generate flow literals. Flow.zip generator file available on github, import it in the generator (It will be added per default later in time), so check the generator first, if flow is available already. Have fun with playing now!
Every shorthand needs a standard, if it wants the user to enable to be fast. The standard for flow is a reverse dictionary made originally for gregg anniversary edition and heavily adapted for flow. So if you wonder how you'd transliterate any given word, you can look up the abbreviation/transliteration (those are based upon flow principles of course) and visualize the transliteration:
uvt yours very truly
More in the next few days, the dictionary takes time, but luckily I can stand on mighty shoulders again. I just wanted to give you a hint what's to come. Me and my buddy over at r/fastwriting consider 'Flow' a major breakthrough and possibly the smoothest, fastest shorthand ever created. Gregg Anni users (or rather athletes) can achieve up to 200-250 words per minute and the trained regular user about 120wpm (Normal speech is about 150wpm). Flow will be in the very same category, if not faster, since the system is optimized for sound occurrance.
urlkm you are wellcome :-)
