Quikwriting

Below are some demonstrations of a shorthand designed for use on pen-based computers. Quikwriting is significantly faster and less stressful to use than Graffiti, and lets you write very quickly without ever picking your stylus up off the surface, although it has the disadvantage that you need to learn a special alphabet. For further info, you can preview a Technote in either PDF or PostScript, which was published at the ACM UIST'98 conference.

You can also check out the discussion thread on Slashdot, and the on-line article in wired.com. - Ken Perlin
