I've heard some schools are reintroducing it now, but that doesn't help those that never learned.

Let's all go back to learning shorthand!
This is what my arthritic handwriting looks like anyway...
Shorthand is pretty badass. My mother knows how to read and write it, and I envy the speed at which she can take notes. A bonus for her was that she could write stuff down when we were kids and nobody could read it.
I always wanted to learn, but the farthest I ever got was professional level typing. My mother in law is a paralegal and says she rarely ever uses it anymore.
Weird they call it shorthand. That looks like a lot of writing just to say "Gregg."
wait, that's an actual script? I thought it was just slang!
Court reporters learn it. They can transcribe conversations by hand. It's pretty wild. From what I understand of it, each symbol is a word, or combination of words.
Its more just writing the sounds with othet short cuts.
