The Realtime Writer’s Manual: A Commonsense Guide for Court Reporters by Ed Varallo, RMR, CRR is a practical guide for court reporters who want to improve realtime translation accuracy and build a stronger personal dictionary.

First published in 1992 and revised in 2013, this manual teaches proven realtime writing techniques designed to help reporters get cleaner, more accurate translations from their CAT software. The book focuses on using prefixes, suffixes, root words, and root stems to expand dictionary power and produce accurate realtime output for words that may not already be entered in the reporter’s dictionary.

Readers will learn how to apply nearly 50 prefixes and more than 70 suffixes, along with root word and root stem strategies, to translate thousands of additional words in real time. The guide also includes hundreds of practical shortcuts to help streamline writing in a commonsense, easy-to-learn way.
