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.

More uses for common suffix endings

This is an expansion of an idea that Steno Wizard started using for proper names in a previous posting.  Now we have realtime translation of some of those trickier-ending words we hear in our everyday language. 

We can't forget that this will also give us a solution to -- get ready for it -- cookie KAOBG/AO*EU and kooky KAOBG/KWR* -- yay!

There's even more words to think about:  foodie, hickey, mini (PHEUPB/*EU -- avoiding minute I).  Okay.  Minute I, a conflict?  Think about this sentence:  "The minute I turned around, she was gone."
