Steno Wizard spied this idea well over a decade ago but was just a little leery of trying it out. It originates from the Chuck Boyer/Karla Wollin Boyer era of speed champions.
Anyway, try it out and see what you think...
Use final side -BL for the -lo and -low in two-syllable words. So far, haven't found a problem with this idea.

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.

INF-, INV-, ENV-, ENF-
Spied this suggestion the other day and just cannot get it out of my mind, so Steno Wizard will share with you all to see what you think:
Use the STW- keys for inf-, inv-, env-, enf- words instead of possibly two stroking them.
Invoke becomes STWOEBG
Invent, STWEPBT
Invention STWEPBGS
Infallible STWABL
Infamous STWAEUPLS
Infant STWAPBT
Infarction STWARBGS
Infinite STWEUPBT
Inflate STWHRAEUT
Invasion STWAEUGS
Invade STWAEUD
Invalidate STWALT
Invalidated STWALTD
Invalid STWA*LD -- I don't know why I'm using the asterisk but it seems to want to stick. (Maybe it's dotting the i.)
Invert STWERT
Inversion STWERGS
Invisible STWEUBL
Invisibility STWEUBLT
Involuntary STWOER
Involuntarily STWOERL -- ONE STROKE FOR THIS!!! WOW!!!
Envision STWEUGS
Envy STWEU
Environs STWAOEURPBZ
SO now you understand why I'm thinking this has some real possibilities -- more one-stroke words!

Quick tip
Here's a quick tip that has helped more than one reporter in a pickle. Save your dictionary and attach it to an email to yourself. You can save it in both your CAT software's file type and as an RTF file (for possible conversion). Now you have it saved online!
