I don't understand the fascination with these shorthands. Maybe helpful if you do a _lot_ of writing with a pen & paper, but if not, it would be more beneficial

I don't understand the fascination with these shorthands. Maybe helpful if you do a _lot_ of writing with a pen & paper, but if not, it would be more beneficial to practice more and get faster with touch typing or a chording keyboard.
- sublinear 3y agoThese things are not mutually exclusive.
- nrr 3y agoThe last time I had jury duty, I took a complete transcription of the trial proceedings with Gregg because of a general prohibition on computers in the courtroom. I also get a fair amount of utility out of it for math lectures because, frankly, while I'm pretty fluent with TeX, I can reach 220 words/min and transcribe equations much more easily if I just use pencil and paper.
- teeray 3y agoDo you have any recommendations on learning Gregg?
- nrr 3y agoNot really. My mother still had her materials from school (and could still read it), and I drilled the alphabet a lot. I think the biggest benefit is had by giving someone else your steno outlines and having them pinpoint where your strokes need work.
