#HOW TO INCREASE THE SPEED IN STENOGRAPHY
Hello Friends, today I am going to talk to you about this very important subject which is - as to how to increase the speed of stenography - It is a general and obvious question and natural as well for those who are aspiring to become stenographer.
When we say stenography, it consists of two things (1) shorthand and (2) typing both and not one - we need to give equal weight to both - no standalone would help - if one is good at shorthand but not in typing, the desired result would not be there similarly if one is good at typing but not at shorthand, it may not be worthwhile. I have seen people under-estimating the importance of typing, which is equally important.
Let’s take first of all what’s the definition of the speed in stenography - the speed in stenography is that at which one is able to transcribe and with less than 5% mistakes. It is not only writing, which is mistaken by many, but transcribing.
I am sharing with you my way of improving stenography, after my decades of experience and this has helped many people in the past
Lets take shorthand first
1) take down the dictation of an unseen passage at a speed u are comfortable 50 60 70 and so on
2) read the passage for 5/10 mins, as the case may be
3) transcribe the passage preferably on computer and note down the time taken
4) check the transcription and make a summary of the mistakes category wise - like omission, additions, substitution, singular/plural, typing errors etc etc
5) note down the difficult words and phrases (in a register) and practise the same.
6) then only re-write (not transcrible) the passage from the recording 3/4 times or till u can write without missing any word or making any mistake.
Now, coming to improvement in typing skill, please take the steps I am going to mention.
- Take any para of 200 or 300 words
- type whatever u can out of it only for 5 minutes without seeing the computer screen and ensure that you do not commit any mistake as well - I repeat without seeing the screen - even if u type 10 or 20 wpm initially don’t worry - it may be slightly painfull or different for you but please bear with it as it will help u in increasing accuracy.
- u need to see the page or passage only from which u type -
- repeat and type the same para and method minimum 3/4 times for 5 minutes each to ensure that there’s no mistake -
- this total exercise may take u around 20-25 minutes -
- repeat this for a fortnight and then review.
I am quite sure, if anyone follows the method suggested by me for shorthand or typing or both only for a fortnight, he will find improvement in accuracy and/or in speed.
I am sharing it as it has helped a lot of people in the past and I have such feedback - I would welcome the feedback of those who give it a try so that it can more people.
That’s what I wanted to say to all of you.
Good luck to you.
Thanks
