Hi All,
Each zip file contains several mp3's of the same passage at different speeds.
There are no sound files for speeds under 40wpm or for lessons 1-12. Copy from the plates until you're comfortable at 40wpm.
Passage Topic
110 Whistling
111 Flying
112 Note to Mr. Cook
113 Cook Trucks
File names are in the format: gsf2-13-110-40-90.zip
gsf2 = Gregg Simplified Functional 2nd Edition
-13 = Lesson 13
-110 = passage 110
-40-90 = speeds from 40-90 wpm in 10wpm increments.
The major difference between Simplified editions is the dictation material, and much of that is re-used. Some of the theory is explained differently in later books, but it's still the same theory in each chapter.
I'll prepare and add more as I need them myself. Other commitments keep getting in the way of my shorthand these days.
If you want to prepare some yourself, let me know. If you send me a sound file at close to 60wpm (one word per clock tick) I have a program that will do the rest.
Let me know if any file is too poor quality to use. I experimented with different systems. There's a middle ground between painful-to-use and spending too much time perfecting a file that will only be used for 20 minutes.
