Perhaps the most important asset of a good stenographer is a sound knowledge of words.

You should know the meanings of as many words as possible as well as the shorthand outlines for them.

This is your stock in trade, so to speak. An excellent method of increasing your knowledge of words your shorthand skill is to write articles dictated from a newspaper or magazine.

If you do not know the meanings of some of the words, look them up in a dictionary immediately.

If you cannot do this at once, place a circle around these words, and find out their meanings when an opportunity presents itself.

A very good way to increase your knowledge of shorthand outlines is to read plenty of literature written in shorthand. Always be sure to look up the meanings of any words you do not understand.
