Steno Resources: Printed Testimony

I Love Stenography Logo (Cropped)If you have an Android phone or tablet, or a Google Play app, you can get some printed testimony that can be used for practice. If writing from paper is part of your steno study, or if you are looking for printed material that you can time and record, this is a useful resource.

Doing a search for “testimony” in Google Books will bring up several Q & A documents. Most of these documents, judging by the date they were created, are likely public domain works. The available free testimony, as of today, includes: Testimony of Attorney-General Brewster, Testimony: New York State Legislature Joint Committee, and many others.
