Self study material for Dictation and Transcription Practice

The following link will give you extra practice for dictation and transcriptions.

http://labjvg.blogspot.com.ar/p/dictation-practice.html

This self-checking material consists of audio files with keys compiled and
recorded by Prof. Cinthia Smith from Instituto Superior del Profesorado “Dr
Joaquín V. González” Buenos Aires, presented in a full version (for general
comprehension purposes) and an exploded version, that is a version with
pauses to give you enough time to write. This means that you will not need to
worry about pausing the recording to write. You can just let it run and
concentrate on your work! Then you can check your work with the pdf file
containing the text in phonemic script (key). There are also some files for
transcription practice. The material has been divided into two groups:
Phonetics I and Phonetics II.
Phonetics I shows no intonation marks.
Phonetics II provides intonation marks which you are not supposed to mark
so far.

It is highly recommended that you follow the order in which the different
folders, and the files within each folder, are presented. They have been
carefully graded according to their length and degree of complexity.

Start working. Hope you enjoy it.
