If there isn’t enough time to learn a shorthand system, how about spending just one day learning BakerWrite speedwriting, an easy to learn, adaptable and invaluable skill based on the principles above (but with lots of extra tricks!)?

Learn techniques to easily abbreviate words when taking handwritten notes and then be able to transcribe them without problem: omitting vowels, positioning characters, prefix and suffix tricks. Attendees use only letters of the English alphabet; no lines or squiggles to master!

This course can be offered inhouse and all vocabulary and dictation will be tailored to your organisation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I study BakerWrite Speedwriting when AI can take notes for me?

AI is impacting hugely on the role of the Assistant. It should be seen as a support, something to use in collaboration with our own skills, knowledge and judgment.

You can use AI if the technology is available, but sometimes you need quickly to jot down notes and it’s much faster than trying to set up a recording, and maybe not practical if you’re not at your desk.

Using AI means you are also putting your notes “out there” and there may be issues with confidentiality or commercial sensitivity.

Of course, there is also the worry that technology may fail – power cuts, loss of wifi, etc.

Using BakerWrite® Speedwriting means you are also learning and better understanding the topics being discussed.

Probably the most important reason is the fact that it is scientifically proven that we remember much more of a subject where we have handwritten the notes, rather than recording, or even typing.

Finally, AI does not have an Assistant’s emotional intelligence, commercial judgment and business acumen. It may not be aware of what to include and what not to include.

Don't let AI take away one of your most valuable professional skills. Learn BakerWrite® Speedwriting and use AI as your assistant — not as your replacement.
