Sound File Notes

In the spirit of passing it on, and as thanks for the help I've gotten online over the years, here are the files I've created for myself.

Gregg Shorthand Simplified Recordings

The files are standard ZIP files. Each file contains several mp3's of the same passage, one mp3 per speed. The triangle symbol means the file hasn't been uploaded yet. ZIP sizes are between 5 and 15MB. Yes, large. I'll experiment with smaller for the next batch, but don't hold much hope. I'm getting about the same file size per minute as podcasts.

My current method is to record it around 60wpm, then use Audacity's Change Tempo feature to change the speed and force it to different lengths.

These files are the ones I make for myself, usually a chapter or two before I need them.

Let me know if you want more passages or different speeds. I'm willing to do passages from other texts and systems, although if there are a lot I'd appreciate it if you did the initial recording.

How to Contribute

Contact me first. cricket@onebit.ca

If you send me recordings made at 60wpm (which is easy to record) I can convert them to 40wpm through 90wpm. (The extremes aren't great quality, but it's a trade-off. It makes no sense to spend five minutes making a file you'll only use for ten.)

If you can go all the way from text to recordings at other speeds, that would be even better.

The equivalent paragraph numbers for the other editions / printings of Simplified would also be useful.

Word Count

Word count is what the text says, unless otherwise specified. Yes, different texts use different systems. For more information on the different methods, and how to mark text, see here: http://www.steno-solutions.com/Articles.htm
