How Clever You Are

This is it guys! See how again how a machine shorthand keyboard
looks like. Don’t be shy to feel each key and try to depress one of it and
it gives it to you. Do you still remember the proper home keys? Always
remember that placing your hands in right position on the keyboard will
makes it easier.

A brief summary of the

discussion…
In this module you learned the different new keys,
phrases and abbreviations on it. You gained more
knowledge about the different new sounds and
familiarized in Machine shorthand. Be able to take a
speed test as accurately as you can. Try to increase
your rate by firm determination to beat your best.
Some of the derivatives are difficult in your first try.
Remember each and you will soon realize that as go on
each one will be easily be memorized. And when
writing numbers, keep your fingers slightly curved and
9
 try to write the number with the tip of your finger. Be
sure to feel the crack between the numeral bars and
home keys with confidence. I am hoping that this
module will help you to develop your skills in Machine
Shorthand. That’s all for now! See you next time!
Goodbye!
