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.

The eyes/ize have it!

One of the first changes suggested in a Realtime 101 seminar that the Steno Wizard attended way back is changing the keystroke for the word "eyes" to differentiate it from the suffix "ize." Steno Wizard recommends you to do the same.

How else can one write "eyes"? By incorporating the Y as the predominant leader in the keystroke. Steno Wizard now writes "eyes" as KWRAOEUZ. That then frees up AOEUZ for the -ize ending.

For consistency, you'll want to also write the singular "eye" as KWRAOEU. In your dictionary, make sure you define your new ways to write eyeball, eyeballs, eyeballed, eyed, eyewitness, eyewitnesses, blackeye, black-eyed, and blackeyes, so that you'll have perfect translation in the future!
