Welcome to the Steno Wizard's Realtime Journey!






Remember when life was simple and all you had to do was make a selection on what your steno really meant? Those days are long gone.





Reporters must get themselves into top realtime form to compete in today's job market. This is my contribution toward ALL of us reaching the realtime goal.



My Steno Wizardry concept is based on the idea that writing realtime actually doesn't require magic -- just hard work, determination, and a little bit of FUN imagination.



My hope is my sharing of the ideas I've incorporated into my realtime journey will assist you in yours.

Resolving ways/weighs/waist/waste

A common problem for us old-timers is this ways/weighs/waist/waste conflict. Steno Wizard has a solution for this steno writing catastrophe!

Ways is written WAEUZ.

Weighs is WAEZ.

Waist/waste are resolved by incorporating the -FT as the -st sound and a little bit of spelling visualization. Waist is WAEUFT and waste is WAEFT. Voila!

When you start to incorporate WAEFT as waste in your steno writing, you'll probably automatically start to write words like taste as TAEFT and paste as PAEFT. Kind of funny how that works, huh? That just goes to show you're learning a new technique and carrying the principle throughout your steno writing theory. Woo-hoo.
