Hi Oluwaseun,

Interesting, thanks for letting us know! We knew that shorthand provided a lot of benefits in terms of speed and convenience, but the confidentiality aspect is one we hadn’t thought about.

Very good points, Trent! Do you use any of the existing shorthand “languages,” or use a hybrid that you’ve created for yourself?

It’s simply a great tool to know.

Great tip, Barney! I like that some of the first words they show you are “Coffee” and “Cola,” definitely something I could use in my everyday life! http://www.shortpen.com/

Its miles easier than Teeline but not as quick from what I understand. At least I can write again. 🙂

That would be an impressive skill to whip out! Another great reason not to let shorthand fade away.

It would be a shame if it died out.
