Key Solutions is best used by practicing the most common word phrases first, i.e., the, of, of the, and, a, to, was, for, from, that, etc. The topics are in alphabetical order for ease of reference.

Please refer to Howee Wright Steno for 1000 common words order of frequency pgs 217-226 and HWS pgs 246-279 for 2600+ common words in alphabetical order. Work these drills in order of frequency rather than alphabetical order. Practicing these drills in this way enhances your speed almost immediately at whatever your current speed level.

RMR or CRR candidates, use Key Solutions Advanced course for KS drills at 140 wpm to start with and proceed to KS for RMR at 180+ wpm dictation. Also use Theory Drills at 120-140 to 200+ wpm using Howee Write Steno textbook in conjunction.

    The CourtReps Realtime Institute Community Portal is now online. There, you will find a constant source of information about theory and speedbuilding classes..

    Our program has a three-pronged approach to achieving your goals to being a confident writer who enjoys stenoing:

    1) Write the most common words and verbs shorter using the Howee Wright Steno (HWS) textbook.

    2) Incorporate the HWS words into phrases, including both beginning and ending phrases using the Key Solutions textbook.

    3) SpeedBuilding and accuracy practice using our archives for "dictation only" at your current level and practicing for your target level. Use of the archives also for practice drills incorporating HWS and Key Solutions dictation exercises.

    Howee Wright Steno (rich in words) shows you a number of ways to shorten your writing.

    Key Solutions (rich in phrases) shows you numerous ideas to single-stroke most common phrases. These ideas can be used for phrase groups confidently instead of trying to memorize countless single briefs and phrases. By doing so, you are able to speedbuild and take fast dictation at your optimum speed level.

    I really can't adequately explain all of the above in a few short paragraphs. I don't think you would want to read a book :)

    So, please call me at your convenience at 303.960.0737 and we can discuss how best we can help you reach your court reporting/captioning goals.

    Thanks and looking forward to your call,
