Three Most Successful Techniques On How To Master Instant Recall
1. Adopt guidelines for using the Asterisk.
a. Use an asterisk implementing specific guidelines, such as ➢ Use an asterisk ! in proper names. fill Phil; sue Sue
➢ Use an asterisk ! for initial caps, such as Avenue, Street, Way, Park, Officer, Lieutenant ➢ Use an asterisk ! for animals.
➢ Use an asterisk !for instant briefs. Robin Williams RO*PLS
b. The asterisk * key
➢ A wide asterisk key, either extended on the right or right and left.
➢ Use the Asterisk TAP where applicable
➢ Shift one full set of keys to the left where applicable
2. Reinforce with a Word Log Book or an effective daily review SYSTEM.
a. Write down new words and the corresponding steno.
b. Review daily every entry.
c. Highlight out an entry when you master it.
d. Add new entries for daily review.
e. Use visualizations to aid in the memory process.

3. Apply the “BIG UGLY” where applicable.
a. If you are changing a simple everyday stroke, define the old
stroke in brackets and all caps, such as -FPLT [A PERIOD IS P – P]
b. Do not give any energy as to who might see your screen and
worry about what they think. This process aids you in
mastering the new stroke in maybe one to three days.
➢Easy-To-Remember Conflict Solutions a. Use EA for EA words (generally speaking).
b. Follow the English spelling when applicable.
c. Delete a vowel or add the asterisk for obvious words
(such as him -PL or HEUPL; hymn H*EUPL

Bonus Concept: If you have a stacking problem,
consider creating a different stroke for problem words that include at least one key on each side of the keyboard. e.g. The word “will” – if you write final L or initial “L” and you constantly get a mistranslation, you could consider writing WEUL for the word “will” and end up with a perfect translation. Another example is the –D ending (~ed).
If you change your –D ending to TK-D, you are activating both sides of the keyboard for the –ED ending, thereby greatly reducing or eliminating a stacking problem with that outline.
–NK WORD ENDINGS
Use -FRPBG for the final -NK sound to differentiate between "-NG" (-PBG) and "-NK" endings. Even if there's no conflict, such as with the word "shank" (no such word as “shang,”) the concept will lock in to your mind. It is easy to remember a concept when you don’t have to analyze it or think about the possibility of other words conflicting.
An EASY way to remember:
add the right index finger to the –NG (-PBG)
- F R P B G
ring - REUPBG rink - REUFRPBG sing - SEUPBG sink - SEUFRPBG bang - PWAFRPBG bank - PWAFRPBG blink - PWHREUFRPBG brink - PWREUFRPBG
➢Writing Distinction For Prefixes And Suffixes
a. Use an asterisk * in prefixes but not suffixes.
b. Define prefixes and suffixes perfectly utilizing your
software company’s CORRECT definition
c. Drop the vowel in some suffixes.
d. Apply the J- and Y- principle.
e. Tweak the vowel where appropriate in suffixes.
f. Drop the vowel.
g. Use KWR – if the suffix begins with a vowel (e.g. ~out)
h.Use SKWR in prefixes where appropriate.
i. Use KWR in suffixes where appropriate
j. drop the vowel where appropriate in suffixes.

Bonus Concept: INFLECTED ENDINGS
Write – S in a separate stroke – G in a separate stroke – D in a separate stroke
While it is common practice to write common suffixes incorporated into the main word in one stroke, such as books: PWAOBGS or PWAOBGZ, it is vital that you develop the skill to also write common suffixes in a separate stroke.
e.g. plurals –S or –Z -G -D -ER or -R
Bonus Concept Delete Stroke TKHR-S {^} Eclipse ~ {Delete Space} CC break through PWRAEBG / TKHR-S / THRU breakthrough run way RUPB / TKHR-S / WAEU runway
stand still STAPBD / TKHR-S / STEUL standstill
Add a Space SP-Z {^ ^} Eclipse F4K {Sticky Space} CC
anyway TPHEU / SP-Z / WAEU any way 1745, 4TH Street 17/45 / SP-Z/ 4-R / STRAOET 1745 4th Street
➢Shortcuts For Alphabets
a. Use as few fingers as possible.
b. Know your software and its automated alphabet techniques.
c. Create several alphabets by using different letter combinations while writing the consonants on the left.
a~ A-FPLT, A-RBGS, A-*, A-*FPL, A-*FPL, A-PLTD
➢Writing Numbers Easier, Including Single Strokes For Years
3 easy tips to write numbers:
a. Clean out your dictionary or database by deleting most numbers you have defined in the past (just keep 1 – 99).
b. You can write several styles of numbers if you write out your numbers.
c. You can write several styles of numbers using the number bar.
Write years in single strokes.

Use blends for sounds, such as ~ly as a suffix.
Practice, study them, review daily, and make sure new words become a part of your instant recall.
