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.

Solving the I'll/aisle/isle conflict

Steno Wizard's solution to the I'll/aisle/isle conflict is truly quite visionary!


Steno Wizard suggests incorporating the final side -F key in place of the S in aisle and isle.


Write I’ll as AOEUL – probably the same as most reporters write I’ll currently. Aisle is written kind of like the way it’s spelled -- AEUFL. Then isle is written AOEUFL. Pretty easy solution!


Eiffel is a proper noun, and all proper nouns (if creating a conflict) require the incorporation of the asterisk key (kind of like an imaginary shift key on a computer keyboard). Ta-da!
