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.

Put Words in Your Mouth


Steno Wizard got to thinking about a common phrase that definitely should be briefed.

"Put words in your mouth" comes up frequently enough.  A coworker gave me her brief, and I think I like it.  Kind of funny how an attorney doesn't want to put words in the mouth of the witness and then proceeds to do so.
