According to Whitney, Bell’s systems included symbols for sounds a human voice cannot make and lacked symbols for sounds it can. Visible Speech, Whitney remarked, “does violence to nature, both by introducing symbols for unreal acts, and by omitting to symbolize others having a real existence and importance.” Whitney complained that no one who had not been taught in person by Bell himself could read Visible Speech. The symbols did not immediately and transparently communicate anything at all; they could communicate only what Bell personally might instruct a student to pronounce.
