This is precisely what I was looking for :)
Have you thought about creating keyboard snippets for common words or phrases? Similar to how iOS replaces omw with On my way! You could create replacements at the OS level that would apply to everything you type. Build them as you go so that your average characters per word is 3-4 characters, it might work out.
Textpand is a wonderful app for this for Android, no connection, just a happy user.
This is an interesting idea. I've used tools that have autocompletion and also on vim with a plugin that I use to type notes. But the annoying thing is this is something that I'll potentially have to set-up.
You could get a stenography keyboard, but they are expensive and hard to learn.
For those of you who take notes regularly - short of improving typing speed, is there a shorthand-like alternative to taking notes or encoding information digitally? Are there any efforts that have been made in this regard?
