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.

Southern California Briefs!

This newbie captioner has been busy the last few months captioning news in the Southern California area -- first San Diego and then Los Angeles.  To survive all those multisyllabic cities, area roads, etc., Steno Wizard petitioned a few seasoned captioners and some Southern California reporter friends, and I am happily sharing with all of you!
