#4> Stenographers stroke chords instead of typing keys, resulting in less movement and better ergonomics than typing.
over the years I've seen various chord-style keyboard schemes. I've wondered why none have caught on - seems more logical than hitting individual keys.

#5Forgive me, but is steno relevant going forward? Would recording audio and NLP be more effective?
Genuine question, no snark.

It's pretty hard to learn a new keyboard layout on a regular keyboard, let alone replace the typing experience with chords (multiply this by the number of languages you use). The real difficulty for me was putting in the time every day to practice, while maintaining a job. You have to be pretty dedicated to pull this off.

It can. Here's an example of using Plover (now part of the openstenography project it seems):

(I know this is not the only presentation in the existence but it's one that I found; there's one by the author of Plover within some longer presentation about it.)
Honestly, doesn't seem super fast to me :-).

It will be relevant, because there will be people interested in typing. It is like how there are pencil artists even though we can all use Photoshop.
