It has been so many years since I was at college reading for a degree, =
being partially sighted I attempted hand written notes in the first term =
but they proved difficult to read without a subsequent re-transciption. =
Later I scraped enough money to buy a first non mobile PC. Then I did =
used to type up lecture notes verbatim from tapes afterwards and even =
managed to sell the resulting notes back to a course tutor and makes you =
popular with sighted peers as well. However this is both the wrong =
technique and also time consuming. The technique you need to get is =
note taking rather than changing mode of input to braille or shorthand. =
Most of your sighted peers should be doing this as physically they =
cannot go as quick as a good typeist at full speed. The problem with =
verbatim transcipts is you will end up with reams of stuff, some of =
whichi probably will not make sense because it is speech and certainly =
may be too much to review when you need to. If your course does have =
end
of year, term or semester exams you will want concise rather than =
ultra detailed notes to review. =20
I believe now some colleges and universities will do note taking classes =
for students, at the time I attended these were unheard of but I think =
are more common now. The second thing is that as regards typeing you =
want accuracy rather than speed because if you are taking notes rather =
than typeing verbatim you will not need to go top speed. If you =
concentrate on accuracy then you may possibly even turn off your typeing =
echo if you get very confident and accurate.

Hi All
I've been typing for some years using the techniques gained at =3D
Loughborough. I'd like to build upon my speed to the level where I =
=3D
could type a lecture verbatim. While I can type quite fast, I can't =
=3D
hear what is being said and type until I've heard a whole phrase. =
When =3D
the speaker breaks from a incomplete sentence and starts another, it =
=3D
throws me completely. So I'm looking for a self learning tutorial to =
=3D
give me practice and a development of a workable technique. Whether =
it =3D
would be just a speed issue, or learning a shorthand system. I =
wondered =3D
and tried using the Braille system and have Word automatically expand =
=3D
the abbreviations but when I try to apply Braille abbreviations, I'm =
=3D
expecting a Braille keyboard, which throws me.
Anyone know of such guidance that can help me as a jaws user? Does =
=3D
anyone have the experience of the RNIB's audio typing tutorial, if so, =
=3D
would it help me?
Thanks
