Title: shorthand+ tablet pc
Post by: chimera15 on Sun, 03 April 2011, 18:35:15

Anyone know of any apps/shorthand tutorials/shorthand converters for tabletpcs or otherwise that will allow you to just get rid of a keyboard all together if you have a tablet?

There are record holders apparently for shorthand upwards of 282 wpm, which would be equal to the fastest typer.  

I found this one that looks interesting.

As far as shorthand, I think handywrite looks the best, since it has full strokes for all vowel sounds which some others don't, and can be read if you know the symbols by anyone I guess, and is easily handwritable.  I just need a program then to translate that to text.
