The author, who was personally responsible for introducing dictating machines into the offices of a large firm, discusses their advantages and disadvantages from the point of view both of the dictator and the transcriber. He himself strongly favours the machine system, urging that its alleged disadvantages are not inherent, but are due mainly to dislike of novelty or to lack of suitable instruction in the use of the machine.
