HDW TD DICTATE
Under no circumstances speak distinctly. Imagine that you have a mouthful of soup or oatmeal.
If you cannot do this, it is best to say a few words in a low tone rapidly, and then say several to yourself. Stenographers are good mind readers.
Never think what you are to dictate until the stenographer gets to your desk. She probably needs a nap anyway.
Never look toward her when dictating. She can hear much better if you turn your back or gaze out of the window or get up and walk around the room.
Telephone everyone possible while dictating. Then strike out what you have dictated and start all over again. This is very good discipline for the stenographer — teaches her to control her temper.
When making corrections, do not fail to make them in ink. This will prevent the stenographer from correcting that letter and will cause her to rewrite it, thus improving her speed on the typewriter.
Always blame the stenographer for any mistakes in punctuation or for long involved sentences. Also, blame that "dumb stenographer" for any other errors, no matter if you did make them yourself.
If you have an article to dictate, it is best to write it out and then read it off to her from 250 to 300 words a minute — using all the technical words possible and then refusing to give her your copy for reference.
Always save a long rush job until the last minute and then ask your stenographer to do it in half an hour. Then stand over her shoulder and help her — she loves it!
