Practice Video: Lit

My husband is so helpful with my quest for steno gold! 🙂 He found this video for me to practice to. This is a video of Mr. Rogers appearing before the United States Senate. This is great lit practice. I’m not sure of the average WPM for this video, but on the scale of 60-225, it seems to be on the slow/moderate side of things.

Here are some briefs from the video:
philosophical= FLOEFL
children= KHIRN
educational= JAEL or JAELGS
television= T-FGS
affiliated= FILTD
program= PRAM
haircut= HAIRKT
program= PRAM
inner= NER or KBER

unique= YAOEK

Happy practicing!

Love, Speed & Accuracy,

Elsie Villega
