I use the -FT or -FS for the final -ST sound.

 

forward - FAORD

Ford - FOERD

board - BAORD

bored - BOERD

over - OEFR

over^ - OEF

 

I use the A for the word "a" and use the long AEU as the a^ stroke. 

 

I have a few alphabets.  AFPLT, BFPLT, etc., I use for ABC company.

AFRPB, BFRPB, CFRPB - I use as a small letter alphabet when editing from the writer.

 

I use ARBGS, BRBGS, CRBGS, etc., for capital letters editing from the writer.

 

I use AFP, BFP, CFP for A.B.C.   

 

If you do create new alphabets, just be sure to go through the alphabet to see if any conflicts pop up.   I write semicolon S-RBGS, so I had to change my capital S alphabet letter to *S.

Thanks, Debbie, I like those ideas.  I think I can remember them.  :-)

In Eclipse you just do P-FPLT and B-FPLT and have it defined in your dictionary as {&P.} and it will glue to another stroke just like it that's supposed to be glued, like B-FPLT.  If you write a word after P-FPLT (and you have it defined like I do), then Eclipse knows to stop gluing and go back to writing words with a space after it.  

Is that what you're asking?

Hey, Keith, 

Are you watching the tournament?  The Hawks are still in.  I have no fingernails left but they are still in.  ;0)

I don't have anything for initials.  That's above my pay grade.  I have a lot of things to work out before I get to things like that.  :)

Thank you, Kathy and Keith!

Hmmmm....I like LAUS and FAURD!

NOE looks good for know.....and I like NU for new.

What I was asking is your stroke to get an initial, like the initials P.B. or T.S. Elliott....in other words, not a glue stroke but an initial stroke.

I've been reporting 20 years, want to take the RT test.  Eclipse does cure a lot of conflicts, but the test sometimes has sentences in it that aren't normal usage so Eclipes's automatic intelligence doesn't always get them.

I real-timed five years for my judge and he said I had the best real-time he'd seen....(he had rotated a lot of candidates through before he hired me).....but I want to solve those little things so I can pass the test.

I'll post the ones I do without asterisk

loss = LOS  (suppose u could do LAUS)

forward = FAURD or FRARD

knew = NAOU

new = NU

lineup = LAOIP
brake  = BRAEK or BRAIK

break = BR-K

no - NO

know = NOE

maybe = MAEB

Right now, space stroke is SP and glue is SP*.  I don't use them much though.

What's an initial P.B. stroke???

Others are with an asterisk.  I'd highly recommend embracing the asterisk.  It's essential for distinguishing conflicts, but it can also do so much more.  It's one of the best tools of a briefer.  Why no love for the asterisk?  It sure makes my life much easier!

Oh, my glue stroke is DLS (delete space).  I'm not sure what you mean by initial P.B.

Comment by Kathy Langstaff on March 24, 2012 at 9:44

loss  -LOS

lost - LOFT (have to use * for loft, but it rarely comes up)

forward - FOERD

new - nu

knew - NAOU
arrival - RAUFL

break - braeuk

brake - braek

no - no

know - noe

maybe - maib

may be - maeb

Way back when we started going to computers I attended a workshop where I learned to do a lot of suffixes/prefixes using J and Y.  I use JOUN and YOUN for down, JOEFR and YOEFR for over, JUP and YUP for up, etc.  I use YN for the in prefix, but I use IN for in'.  Of course, then I have to use *in for inn, but again, it rarely comes up.  Don't know why I don't just use JN and YN.  I can't see a conflict there.

I use the J for the prefixes and the Y for the suffixes cuz it's easier to remember when you think of the first letter of J coming before the first letter of Y.

BTW, where are you from and how long have you been reporting?
