Here’s Theory Group 4, which covers Lessons 37-48 from the Gregg Shorthand Manual Simplified 2nd edition text. The recordings are closely aligned to this in-print text. These dictations are mostly 70 wpm, though two recordings were duplicated at 80 wpm.
As always, these were cleaned up and enhanced with Audacity. As far as the recordings that have some scratches go, for the first time, consult the chart below for where they are, then listen to the recording all the way through while following along in the book so that you’ll have a sense of what’s coming.
Like the previous box sets, this zip file contains 12 mp3 files and 1 .pdf. Each mp3 averages about 6 minutes and covers one complete lesson. Click here for a key to the Simplified text/recordings.
And now a plea: If anyone happens to have the Theory Group 5 Box Set and would be willing to ship it to me, I will gladly digitize it for the group and ship the original back to you. The 5th set would complete the rest of the lessons from the Simplified text. It’d be nice to see this completed in full.
