Type quicker than write, write quicker than type, or both the same.
This is full writing, not taking shorthand notes.

type for words, but most notes are equations or stuff that would take longer to type

lately tho i've been training this dictation software that came with MS Office (it's watered down version of dragon i think). anyway, it's amazing. works with background noise. it gets up to 140 wpm which is faster than most people can type.

it has amazing accuracy. i think this dictation can do ok in about 5 more years. :)

Think the only people that write faster than they type are the people who chicken peck the keys. But then there are those that chicken peck at 40 WPM, so...

I think anybody that can type at like 25WPM can type faster than they write. :p

It takes a lot longer to write B than it does to hit the B key.
