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.

Here's an easy one...January

Just a quick suggestion to pass along today. How many of us learned to write January SKWRAPB -- in other words, the same as the name Jan?


An attorney once commented to Steno Wizard that he was receiving rough drafts from all over the country and could figure out that every time the name Jan came up (his client's first name), reporters were writing January -- except for Steno Wizard's rough. Why is that? No need to go into that explanation because we reporters already understand the issue.


Anyway, Steno Wizard is prepared to share how that little problem is fixed with one simple move. January is now written as SKWRARPB.
