These are really not difficult (although it is more difficult for outsiders who don't know the jargons etc) compared to my boss' handwriting (very often even the two secretaries who serve her can't read what she has written, English or Chinese). b. When using pinyin input method, users really need to proofread (re 沈晴 / 僑報). c. I think I will stop here and let the others have fun. Quote
skylee Posted June 20, 2011 at 11:32 PM Report Posted June 20, 2011 at 11:32 PM One more observation - Is it all right for you to post such internal documents on a website like this? There seems to be enough information to identify where you work (the programme name) and there is pricing information, which I imagine is sensitive in a commercial sense. Perhaps it might be wise to at least mask such information? Quote
ma3zi1 Posted June 20, 2011 at 11:41 PM Author Report Posted June 20, 2011 at 11:41 PM One more observation - Is it all right for you to post such internal documents on a website like this? There seems to be enough information to identify where you work (the programme name) and there is pricing information, which I imagine is sensitive in a commercial sense. Perhaps it might be wise to at least mask such information? Good question! I have done my best to hide the identity of our station by cutting off the header from the notes. In the future I will be more diligent about masking the price information. Still, there is relatively little of use here, and there are no other competing radio stations in our area. I should probably go back and remove the old notes though... Okay, I made a more censored version and attached it now. a. These are really not difficult (although it is more difficult for outsiders who don't know the jargons etc) compared to my boss' handwriting (very often even the two secretaries who serve her can't read what she has written, English or Chinese). This one wasn't too bad, but some of them are really hard for me! b. When using pinyin input method, users really need to proofread (re 沈晴 / 僑報). Actually, the note-taker misspelled at least one of those. It should be 深情 instead of 沈晴. Quote
semantic nuance Posted June 21, 2011 at 07:04 AM Report Posted June 21, 2011 at 07:04 AM 數字與大寫部份是否相符 可連簽3個支票一起進 Attached are some hand-written notes from work that I've been working on transcribing. Did you post the original script in pdf format? I think it will be easier to help you if you post the original one. It's too hard to guess with so many question marks (????) in #1. Quote
xiaocai Posted June 21, 2011 at 09:35 AM Report Posted June 21, 2011 at 09:35 AM The writing is a mix of traditional character and pinyin, which I think is kind of interesting and not something one would normally expect. Can ma3zi1 enlighten us with some explanation if possible? Quote
ma3zi1 Posted June 21, 2011 at 03:39 PM Author Report Posted June 21, 2011 at 03:39 PM (edited) @semantic nuance: I did post the original script, but there were some issues with privacy concerns that skylee pointed out. So, I decided to remove the PDF until I could censor it properly (i.e. removing things like price information and anything that would reveal which company I work for). I'll try to get it back up today. It's back up now, enjoy! @xiaocai: 這個問題非常好！ The writing is indeed a mixture of simplified and traditional Chinese, and sometimes even simplifications that do not exist. For example, the note-taker simplifies 開 to 门 ＋ 开 instead of just 开. This is because I work in an overseas environment with a mixture Chinese immigrants from the mainland, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Usually the people from Hong Kong are in accounting or finance though, which is not my department. Traditional Chinese is the official "standard" since the company is owned by Taiwanese people, but the Taiwanese people definitely appreciate the use of simplified Chinese for note-taking purposes. However, as is evident from the example above, they don't always know what the proper simplification for each character is. I hope that was enlightening ;) Edited June 21, 2011 at 06:51 PM by ma3zi1 Quote
skylee Posted June 21, 2011 at 03:47 PM Report Posted June 21, 2011 at 03:47 PM I hope that was enlightening Very. My handwriting is also like that. Quote
imron Posted June 21, 2011 at 11:44 PM Report Posted June 21, 2011 at 11:44 PM The writing is indeed a mixture of simplified and traditional Chinese, Many of the simplifications that were made were just standardisations of common simplifications that people had been using in handwriting for hundreds of years (according to Wikipedia, some of them even go back thousands), so it's not suprising to see them 'mixed' in here.

xiaocai Posted June 22, 2011 at 12:55 AM Report Posted June 22, 2011 at 12:55 AM Indeed it was. I didn't know they use Pinyin as well. Quote
ma3zi1 Posted June 22, 2011 at 01:17 AM Author Report Posted June 22, 2011 at 01:17 AM Haha, well the only reason the note-taker wrote any pinyin was because I asked him/her to. I was asking her/him what that unintelligible version of 污蔑 was Quote
