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.

Picture it: Rain, Rein, and Reign

Resolving the rain/rein/reign conflict has been particularly bothersome for Steno Wizard.  It took some doing to get this trio worked out, and Steno Wizard is ready to share the method behind the madness. 

Rain is stroked on the steno keyboard as RAEUPB -- like it's spelled.  Simple enough. 

Next, rein as in control or reining in a horse is stroked RAEPB.  Steno Wizard decided to associate the "E" in the stroke for rein RAEPB with the "E" in the word horse.  Sounds crazy, but it's working for the Steno Wizard.

The word reign as in a king who reigns a kingdom is stroked RA*EUPB.  Steno Wizard imagines that the asterisk is the sparkle that is glistening off of the king's crown. 

Try it.  These may actually work for you too.
