StenoggerTM lets you use the tricks of court reporters for live blogging:
a; = Spaces down and starts the next line with A:
q; = Spaces down and starts the next line with Q:
You can get fancy with it, too:
.a puts in a period and starts the next line with A:
/a puts in a question mark and starts the next line with A:
.q puts in a period and starts the next line with Q:
/q puts in a question mark and starts the next line with Q:
These are crucial for the live-blogger:
yor = I don’t remember
yorl = I don’t recall
yon = I don’t know
yonk = I don’t think
yobl = I don’t believe
yobls = I don’t believe so
And of course (fk) you can load StenoggerTM with shorthand for words and phrases unique to the event you are covering!
