Stenography dictation practice

Choose a speed and press Start. Take the dictation down in shorthand on paper; when it ends, type your transcription from your notes. The passage is read by your device’s own voice.

How to use it

  • Start slow (60–80 WPM) and raise the speed as your outlines get faster. Use the speed, dictation time and transcription time your exam’s notice sets.
  • The pace is kept by reading short phrases on a timer: each phrase starts when the target speed says it should. A computer voice is clearer and more even than a real dictator, so also practise with recordings when you can.
  • Hindi needs a Hindi voice on your device (Android and Windows can add one in speech settings).
