Is it possible to write with both hand simultaneously?

Question

Not just ambidextrous by switching hands, but using both at once, like finishing a sentence in half the time because I write the 1st part with my left while I write the 2nd half with my right.

If so, how do I learn how to do this?

Answer 1

If it is, I have never seen it done.

Answer 2

It is only possible if you are writing the same thing with both hands. You will never be able to write the first part of a sentence with one hand at the same time you write the last part with the other hand.

Your brain controls your hand that is doing the writing, but it can only think of one part of one sentence at a time. Your thought process would have to jump back and forth from the first part of a sentence to the last part and your left hand would have to stop while your brain tells your right hand what to write next.

It may be possible as, someone else suggested, to write the same sentence in two different languages at the same time if you are extremely fluent in both languages - but I would have to see it to believe it.

Answer 3

The answer is definitely YES. I saw it done many, many years ago.

A man stood in front of two easels, each with a poster board on it. He held a black marker in each hand.

He wrote the same short sentence on each board -- simultaneously! The left hand wrote on the left board and the right hand wrote on the right board.

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.


All I can suggest for learning it is: PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.

Answer 4

Yup, there was a president that could write in greek with one hand and latin with the other.
