Reading Shorthand for Dictation

[Deb]

Read shorthand and record it.

Then write it down.

This serve a few purposes.

1. you read your shorthand notes or shorthand book (again)
2. you practice writing what you have read (and maybe wrote)
3. you have dictation practice.

If you record dictation and feel you do a bad job, this is a sample of some office style dictation. You will see that the person dictating made changes while talking, changes after it was read back to them, and so forth. Everyone will do that. Even experienced news anchors.
