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.

Realtime Writing of First Names - Part 3

 

Enhancements to Theory - Guideline 5


There are brief forms available for common first names.

Examples:

Jennifer SKWR*EUFR

Elizabeth HR*EUBZ
Jeffrey SKWRA*EFR
Michelle  PH*EURBL
Michael  PHAO*EUBLG
Pamela PHRA*EPL
Christopher KR*EUFR





And many more!  

Over time and exposure, you will create briefs for the names that are frequently mentioned in your work, and that may be unique to you.

The working world of a steno reporter is replete with first names. 

mastery of first names will be one of the building blocks for skill building and topnotch realtime translation.
