I thought it might be handy to put all the dictation recording links in one place, so they are easier to find. These links represent hundreds of dictation recordings!
I’ve always been intrigued by the concept of the shorthand laboratory of yesteryear. If you have Evernote, you can turn your phone or tablet into a modern portable shorthand laboratory, by uploading these files into it. Evernote syncs across devices, so you can practice your dictation anywhere.
