In today’s digital era, technology makes note-taking a breeze. Whether it’s capturing meetings, conversations, or ideas, there are various apps and classic recordings that assist in documenting them. However, before these convenient inventions, note-taking in real-time was accomplished through shorthand writing.
Shorthand was first created by the Greek historian Xenophon, as stated in Encyclopaedia Britannica. It became widely used during the Roman Empire to take notes efficiently while people talked. The Latin shorthand system was in use for more than a millennium before fading away in the Middle Ages.
