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.

Proper Name Briefs

Realtime and captioning is full of proper names.   Steno Wizard is sharing some proper name briefs that have become more of a necessity to keep up in the steno realtime world.   Perhaps you'll like them or they'll spark an idea or two.   There's a previous post from a few years back with some suggestions, and hopefully SW won't repeat too many.   Unfortunately, names can also be spelled a few different ways, but these are the ones that SW uses for the common ones.
