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.

Con- prefix words




Steno Wizard recently began exploring new ways to write words that start with "con."   My original theory pretty much had all "con" words being written KOPB as the first stroke and then writing the rest of the word in the next stroke.   There were a few briefs, but not as much as I'd like for high-frequency words.

Often SK- for cons-/conc- is working for me when inserting an asterisk -- which is helping me to avoid conflicts.  :)

SK*EPT concept
SK*EPGS conception
SK*UR concur
SKAO*EF conceive
SK*ERT concert
SK*EPBT consent
SK*EUFT consist
SKO*RM consortium
SKAO*ED concede
SKO*LT consolidate
SKPA*ERT co-conspirator (SPAERT - conspirator -- definitely needed something!)
SK*EUF consecutive
SK*EUFL consecutively
SK*URPBT concurrent
SK*URPBL concurrently
SKAO*UPL consume

I may not need to use an asterisk for these in the future, but for now that's a path I'm following.

K*EFPLT context
K*EPLT contempt
