Re:Orthic Shorthand – Write as fast as you type by supersrdjan on Friday January 19, 2024 @03:49AM (#39053149)
I use Orthic to jot down notes. It has been perhaps two years since I implemented it. I view it as a tradeoff - it is way easier and faster to write… but harder and slower to read. This is why I use it for brief notes primarily. Perhaps the most consistent issue is mixing up the letters “e” and “u” but there are other ambiguities that creep up too, so sometimes you have to read a word a few times. I think I am getting better though.

Oh yes, and it takes up way less space, so it is very economical, you can cram a lot of notes into a single page of a pocket-sized notebook
