Speedbuilding Practice
Keyboard exercises to help gain typing speed. Includes practice on letters, numbers, and dictation at 30, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 200, and 225 words per minute. Pushing beyond your comfort zone can result in your fingers finding the correct keys without looking at the keyboard. Then immediately practicing at a slower speed usually results in improved accuracy. Professional transcriptionists need to have proficiency in both speed and accuracy.
While this course is aimed toward transcriptionists, steno students can also benefit from the higher-speed dictations for practice.
