The article misses out the rather fascinating battle between Pitman, Gregg and then new Stenography that was going on in the 1910s. The stenographers competed in all those speed competitions until they comprehensively won one of the early ones. This was so disruptive that the competition paused for some years and when it came back was pen system only. Pitman / Gregg gave rise to outrageous claims on both sides and religious discussions much like "Windows or Mac". Given the bandwidth possible I've wondered why no one has tried a stenotype like keyboard on a computer.
