The Melin system of shorthand is the dominant shorthand system used in Sweden. It was created by Olof Werling Melin (1849-1940), an officer in the Swedish army. He was a teacher of the Gabelsberger shorthand system in the Swedish army, but he was dissatisfied with it so he created an alternate system, that today is known as the Melin System.
