1. A description of the laws of the human voice, or sounds
uttered by the organs of speech.
2. A representation of sounds by distinctive characters;
commonly, a system of shorthand writing invented by Isaac
Pitman, or a modification of his system, much used by
reporters.
Note: The consonants are represented by straight lines and
curves; the vowels by dots and short dashes; but by
skilled phonographers, in rapid work, most vowel marks
are omitted, and brief symbols for common words and
combinations of words are extensively employed. The
following line is an example of phonography, in which
all the sounds are indicated:
They also serve who only stand and wait. --Milton.
3. The art of constructing, or using, the phonograph.
