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.

πŸŽ‰ The Magic of -SHIP = OEUP 🚒

 

Today we’re unlocking a beautifully simple briefing strategy that is going to make you feel like a steno genius.

The Pattern:

If a word ends in –ship, your fingers say:

πŸ‘‰ OEUP

That’s it. That’s the magic.

Your brain hears “ship”…

Your fingers sail right to OEUP. 🚒

🌊 Let’s See It in Action

πŸ’‘ Examples:

  • friendship → TPROEUP
  • leadership → HROEU P
  • championship → KHOEU P
  • citizenship → STKOEU P
  • membership → PHOEU P
  • ownership → OEU P
  • partnership → POEU P
  • relationship → ROEU P

Do you see it? πŸ‘€

Every single one ends the same way.

No reinventing the wheel.

No writing out S-H-I-P separately.

Just OEUP and you’re done.

🧠 Why This Strategy Works

Students sometimes think briefing is complicated.

But this one is actually:

  • Predictable
  • Repeatable
  • High-frequency
  • Realtime-friendly

Court, captioning, CART — these words show up constantly.

When you train your fingers to automatically attach OEUP to anything ending in –ship, you:

✅ Reduce strokes

✅ Increase speed

✅ Build confidence

✅ Look brilliant in realtime

πŸš€ Your Mission

This week, notice every –ship word you hear in your practice routine:

  • scholarship
  • dealership
  • township
  • partnership
  • proprietorship

And smile to yourself because your fingers already know what to do.

OEUP = ship.

Simple. Powerful. Elegant.   How many MORE -ship words can you think of and how would you write them?
