I think this was covered earlier in this thread, namely, you simply let the
errors sit and fix them later. Do it for a while and you'll develop a
style. For example, if I hesitate a bit too much and there are spaces in
the word, then it's quick enough to go back when there's a second's pause
and do the "joining" gesture. If it's more than that, usually it's still
recognizable as what you intended, so just go back and fix it after the
meeting/class. (Which, BTW, forces you to re-read your notes at least once,
promoting learning of whatever it was you were supposed to be listening to.
;-) ) Only if it's badly garbled (due to shifting in your seat while
writing or holding the pen at a bad angle -- notice this is generally pilot
error {Hey! There's a pun in there!}, rather than HWR errors, particularly
if you print) do I ever scrub the word and try to quickly rewrite it.
