The phrase: "My Phonetics Page" in various orthographies:

"A 50% match between phonetic or phonemic spelling
and dictionary spelling is the best we can hope for"  -S.Bett
TEST:  count the number of times the dictionary pronunciation guide matches English spelling.

Traditional Analysis of English Vowels + midvowels
There are more than 5 vowels!!! There are 12 pure vowels plus combinations of pure vowels
I don't approve of the arrangement below because it mixes pure vowels and diphthongs - but it is the way vowels are taught.
Typically, the schwa, ahh, and the hook are overlooked and /^/ is called a short U.  The arrangement makes little sense.

Below is a far superior analysis of English vowels
It clearly distinguishes between free (long) vowels and combinations
The vowels are still listed in alphabetical order rather than high and low

comparing the two keyboard scripts

In the simplified Unigr@f orthografy, the codes for the ligatures would not be used by casual writers.

Mnemonics or memory hooks for retaining Shavian shapes
nemoniks or memori hcks for ritAniG Sovian SAps
Four short or checked vowels + schwa are parts (quadrants or arcs) of a circle
The top most arcs are ADO and ON, the lower arcs are EGG and ASH
ASH/AX would be easier to remember as [ae]
EGG/EJ an [e] without the loop - IT is a dotless [i] - basically no change
AWE is an extension of the IPA phonogram, a turned c.
AH is a flipped or mirror image of the AWE phonogram
The Shavian AH looks like a [q] - the Unigr@f keyboard location
ARRAY/HER is a ligature of a+r,  EAT is a bar-I,
WOOL/HOOK resembles a kind of hook - OOZE/HOOP is a rotated hook.
UP is a ADO with a bar -  A bar is usually a length sign, in this case it refers to stress.

Can keyboard Shavian be improved?  I think so.  Any code can be learned
but here we have an opportunity to use a "keyless" code.
NO KEY REQUIRED TO DECIPHER

A key would have to be used, however, for the R-combinations

Many soundsigns in Keyboard Shavian (below) cannot be read without a key
The sometimes unintelligible underlying phonascii can be improved by going to Unigr@f
Unigraf used to use @ for schwa, now [a] is used and @ is assigned to /ae/.

How can we deal with the R-drop problem?

J and V may look better as substitute phonograms but cC (lazy Us) are easier to remember

Does Unigr@f have any utility as an initial teaching alphabet?
A similar phonascii, ANJeL is being tried out
Until someone uses these scripts to communicate
it is difficult to come to any conclusion.
