CHANGE NUMBERS TO WORD

Do you have a hard time remembering numbers?  Phone numbers Zip codes Dates Credit card numbers PIN numbers Physical and mathematical constants. This technique has been used to memorize Pi to 5000 places. Then 2Know can help - a lot!  2Know is based on a mnemonic system that has proven its effectiveness over hundreds of years.  The system transforms meaningless numerical strings into words and phrases. In the system, each numeral, 0-9, is represented by a consonant sound. These sounds are used to form words that can be more easily remembered than the raw numbers. The system is not computer based.  But it sure is easier coming up with meaningful words and phrases using the 2Know program and its large multilingual phonetic dictionaries. The Phonetic System/Major System The Phonetic System is not new.  It has been around in one form or another since the 1600s.  The version presented here is based on the one found in the highly recommended book "Your Memory: How It Works & How to Improve It" by Kenneth L. Higbee Here are the phonetic equivalents of the digits 0-9 that are the heart of the Phonetic System: Digit Sound Examples Remember 0 z, s, soft c ace, size, use, yes z for zero 1 t, th, d tie, the, do, it t has one down stroke 2 n noah, any, new, one n has two down strokes 3 m ma, home, me, aim   m has three down strokes 4 r ray, our, here, your last sound in four 5 l oil, lay, whole, law Roman numeral for 50 is L 6   j, sh, ch, soft g  jay, wash, shoe, wage reversed j looks like a 6 7 k, q, hard c, hard g key, guy, queue, cow k is made of two 7's 8 f, v fee, wave, via, half script f resembles an 8 9   p, b pie, bay, pay, abbey reversed p is a 9 Table 1. Phonetic Equivalents The name of this program, '2Know', is derived from the fact that 'know' is the phonetic equivalent of '2'. Remember, it is the sounds that are important, not the letters. * If repeated letters make only one sound, as 'ss' in tissue, it translates to a single digit. * Silent consonants, such as the 'c' in tack, are not represented by a digit. * Vowels don't count * 'x' is usually  pronounced as 'ks' as in axiom(703) Regional accents and individual pronunciation can make for ambiguous translations. For example 'conch' could be translated as either 726 or 727. It is your decision which to use - just be consistent. How Does 2Know Help? You supply the numbers, 2Know supplies the words.
