machine transcription rate Explanation: Sounds like a test of the rate with which the person can transcribe dictation. Duration of the dictation is 3 minutes, and the speed is 60 syllables/minute. For more info, see: Die Grundlagen der Deutschen Einheitskurzschrift werden systematisch erlernt und Schreibgeschwindigkeiten bis 80 Silben pro Minute eingeübt. Zum Besuch eines Kurses dieser Grundstufe sind keine Vorkenntnisse erforderlich. Über das Ergebnis der Abschlußprüfungen mit 60 oder 80 Silben pro Minute wird ein landeseinheitliches VHS-Zeugnis vergeben. Die Kurse sind besonders geeignet für Jugendliche in der Berufsausbildung, Arbeitslose und Teilnehmerinnen mit dem Ziel des Wiedereinstiegs in der Beruf. www.oberhausen.de/vhs/vhsneu/kurse/AJ200C.htm ADOT - 2140 MACHINE TRANSCRIPTION [3 hours] This course provides intensive practice in transcribing business correspondence from machine sources.

recording Explanation: Aufnahme=introducing, recording, incorporation and many more recording of a 3-minute announcement into the device with a speed of 60 sillibles/minute. I would think that recording is the most appropriate here, because you generally don't speek of "typing an announcement" etc. Hope this helps, Lis Muret-Sanders |

typing Explanation: I agree with Parrot and UEL, and James can probably figure this out without any help, but this is bugging me: WORDS per minute (wpm) - syllables per minute might sound a bit funny to English speakers unfamiliar with big German compound words. (It may be unusual to type from speech (phonotyping?), but this is a common typing speed - 60 syllables/words per minute is much too slow for stenography or recording, or for normal human speech which is about 300) |
