Those of us who can type fast will almost certainly agree that sitting at a desk in front of a full-sized keyboard helps. I am not quite sure how many of us can still claim to type faster than we write when the typing has to be done at the bus stop.
Another issue to consider when comparing the speed of writing against the speed of typing is whether or not the writing technique is optimal. This is where alternative handwriting systems need to be considered. Shorthand techniques were designed specifically for situations like this.
