Open the original- What it measures
- The seller's product page says the book helps improve steno skill in English or Hindi. The speed range is a claim about the learner's target, not a requirement of any exam.
- What it does not show
- This is the seller's marketing claim. It does not say which speeds the book's passages are written at, and it is not an exam requirement. Compare it with the speed in the notice for your own test.
