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.

November's CRR

November's CRR exam's topic was on Alzheimer's.  The words given were Roger Roman and cognitive.  What a test!  Speed not too shabby.  Definitely a test on soundalikes or potential stenonyms.  From memory, hopefully...

For example:

Plane  PHRAEPB v. Plain PHRAEUPB
pace   PAEUS v. paste PAEFT
escorts SKORTS v. skorts (that's my theory anyway) v. comports if one uses KP- for the initial X.

Steno Wizard has many one-word steno strokes for multisyllabic words that were on the test.  Check these out: 

Family TPAEPL
Pilot PAOEULT
Stumbles STUFRBLZ
Memory PHERPL
Symptoms STOPLZ
Progression PROGS
Cognitive KOFGT
