@skyblond do you know if there is some sort of asian language short hand? If not chinese any of the languages that use kanji like charachers (single characters to represent words). Im curious about forms of shorthand that migbt be applied to such scripts.

@freemo If I'm not misunderstanding, there is some sort of short hand in Chinese, but mostly for professional usage, like clerk, but nowadays we almost exclusively use computer and use PinYin to type Chinese charactors, I can achive about 90 to 100 wpm (or cpm, c for character).

Here is a picture I found on the internet, it shows the markers for some character.

I think the doctor still use that kind of shorthands? I can never read those.

@skyblond In latin based letter languages shorthand is typically limited to secretaries. This is interesting.

When you say you get 100wpm are you coubting a word as a single kanji character?

@freemo Yeah, those website said wpm, but it really character per minutes. I did two test and I got 99 and 110.

And apparently I forgot we also digitialized medical records so I don't need to guest what doctor writes.

@skyblond some doctors probably still use paper note taking. I find doctors can be a bit behind the times.
