Gregg Shorthand Simplified Recordings
Status: Only Assignments 11 and 12 are up so far, but it was easier for me to create the entire table at once.
The little triangle after the file name means the file doesn't exist yet.
All Simplified Manuals teach the same material each chapter. The only difference is the practice material and some of the explanation.
If any of the files are worse than average quality (for this project's value of average), let me know. I didn't know that saving intermediate steps as mp3 is bad until too late. (Assignments 11 and 12 are the only ones I suspect.)
Each zip file contains one mp3 per speed.
File names are as follows: gsf2-11-97-40-60.zip
- gsf2: Gregg shorthand functional 2nd edition
11-97: Assignment 11, passage 97
40-60: Speeds included in file, in 10 wpm increments, so this file has 40,50 and 60wpm.
The files are numbered based on Shorthand Manual Simplified Functional 2nd Edition (because I have the key to that one). If you can cross-reference other books, let me know!
