apparently the new edition is simply "Saving Keystrokes," both by Diana Rolland, if I remember correctly. The older version used to come as a spiral-bound workbook/video combo, but the new version appears to be a trade paperback. I assume the info is largely the same.

with expansions - one of its suggestions is to make an expansion for any word you hear 3 times - - and the other is to make words without the voweld - like fmr for femur - ttl for total - one thing I started doing is adding any drug I look up so that I will know if it is capital or lower case and will never have to look it up again. Also put as many common phrases in as you can. Hope this helps.

This is a perfect example of how it works. Say art shop over and over until you hear R-CHOP. An example from the game: SHELL SEEK LINT HUN - Chelsea Clinton. I always thought transcriptionists would be great at Mad Gab. We do it all day long
