<p>I learned this from a really excellent reporter. He would do this on his writer, but you can do it in your main dictionary also. </p>
<p>Write out "that you were"; global the three strokes together as one global; global again as the new brief and make a conflict. Now when you write out "that you were" in three strokes, a conflict will come up and it will show you the brief that you want to start using.

As you're working, you'll see it on your computer screen and it will remind you that you want to use the brief. I hope I'm explaining this right. For example, I want to change the way I write report (RORT) to ROP. So I have the steno RORT globaled as "report" and I have the steno RORT globaled as "ROP" as a conflict. It works for me.</p>

<p>I don't always hear brief phrases, but I frequently hear two-word phrases, so</p>
<p>I've developed more of those. I believe = EU BL</p>

<p>Kelli,</p>
<p>work on briefs for things that make you hesitate. writing it out</p>
<p>long - if you are not hesitating is just fine. </p>
<p>It is easier to pick up briefs for things that 'bug" you than for phrases or briefs of things that you sail right over.</p>

<p>Auto Brief in Eclipse software gives you suggestions on what you're writing. It is wonderful and really helps. When you're in a deposition, say, and the phrase temporary restraining order keeps coming up over and over again. The software will pick up that you're writing that phrase a lot and throw out a suggestion, like TREAR for you to write. Very helpful. It will also remind you of briefs that you have in your dictionary that you're not using. I love that too because it's a reminder,…</p>

<p>Don't feel bad, Kelli.</p>
<p>The same thing happens to me all the time. I tend to "blank out" on some of the briefs, and when I'm told them, I say, "Oh yeah, that's what it was!"</p>
<p>BTW, what is "Auto Brief"?</p>

<p>Yes, I use Auto Brief all the time and love it. It is set up to show me what's in my dictionary, but I don't remember seeing these little phrases before. Another problem might be I always write on top of every word; like I've already written "that you" before the "believe" word is said, so it's to late to write THAUBL. Just a guess.</p>

<p>Kelli, if you're using auto-brief, do you have it set to show you entries from your dictionary that will save x number of strokes? If those phrases you're trying to ingrain are in your dictionary, they should be coming up as reminders on the auto-brief list. You can also increase the number of reminders so you see more of those. I use the entire left pane (info bar) when in RT to show me reminders, requested briefs, and auto-briefs. I don't use any of the Auto-Magic stuff, but that space…</p>

<p>You might not be aware of this since it's a feature in the development version, but Eclipse now offers an option for "Mark Kislingbury suggestions" so that you can have those coming up in the auto-brief suggestions. They don't need to be in your dictionary. </p>
<p>The development version runs from a different icon than the regular release version, so you can work in either version. Just because you install the development version doesn't mean you have to commit to using it all the time. Also, this version can be used with or without the hardware key.</p> I have the same issue, Kelli…tag:csrnation.ning.com,2012-10-02:1736041:Comment:12454222012-10-02T13:08:22.822ZJanethttp://csrnation.ning.com/profile/JanetMcHugh

<p>I have the same issue, Kelli. I can remember my own briefs and certain briefs that I get from other people, but some of them just don't come to me fast enough. There are certain phrases that I'll hear that I automatically brief, like "you can answer," "you may answer," "correct me if I'm wrong." But the "that you believe" type of briefs don't come to me automatically. I think I'm so focused on chopping multi-syllable words down to one stroke that the phrases slip by without me…</p>
