New Flashcard Set! Multi-Word Phrases!

So, I am finally getting back into sharing my study tools with the rest of the world.  While I am not sharing my stenokeys shorthand with the rest of the world, I am more than willing to share my flash cards!  I now have a new bunch of cards to add to the set.  It is called Sten Ed Multi Word Phrases and has a bunch of multiple word briefs and phrases.  It took me a while to get all the cards copied over and even more time to add some new ones, but there are a total of 407 cards available for studying and a total of 213 cards that have been flagged for those who have time restraints.

I am also proud to say that I am using my stenokeys program to write this entry.  Sure, it is slower this way because I have to get my accuracy up with this machine, which has not received much attention due to school, but now I have a new use for it other just homework and studying.  Hopefully this will help me increase my speed and accuracy really soon.  It is really fun to use my machine on my blog though, and you have to admit that the fact this I am trying this is pretty cool.  Stenokeys is a whole new set of commands that are hard to memorize, and I am actually doing this pretty well even if it is miss and go at times.

Hope you have fun with the new flash card set!  I know I will.

Flashcards Update: Congressionals and Court

The new Congressional Brief and Phrases Flashcard Set is coming along steadily. It now contains 214 official Sten Ed Flashcards. I'm not adding my own personal dictionary entries into them though, but I'll list the new briefs I've found or made up if you'd like to look at them or use them. Suggestions always help! So If you know a source for briefs or have some of your own feel free to comment. I consider this a group effort, especially with Court Reporting Bound, Steno Poet, and Depomans' suggestions.

From the Congressional Briefs I've looked up I also found ones that would also benefit the Jury Charge and Q&A Flashcards of Briefs and Phrases set, so I added them in. The Jury Charge Set now has a total of 360 official Sten Ed Flashcards, and for those with time constraints there are only 264 of them flagged. Hope you enjoy!

Another great place to get briefs is NCRA's Steno Briefs Page, and I will probably hit them up next for getting more custom briefs for Congressionals. So far though looking up words that are listed just to double check is really helping find shorter, and official, briefs from my theory so I don't know how many I'll develop on my own. I'll list them though!

Here are the ones I developed or took from Downey CSR's Briefs and Phrases Sets. I haven't gone through all the sets yet, and some of these I made on my own. Only use these briefs and phrases if they are compatible with your theory and your software! A lot of these I derived from other Steno Sets in my own dictionary, so they go along with the Sten ED theory well.


AL/LAOEUS    allies
BAOUR    bureau
BAOUR/KRAES    bureaucracy
D*EM    Democrat

Flashcards: Work in Progress

I'm working on getting some Congressional and Legislative Terms into my flashcards. A new set, which will be called StenED Congressional Briefs, is a work in progress. It will take me a long time because all of these briefs, phrases, and words I'm having to look up on my own. I'm also going to have to create a lot of these long phrases on my own because Sten Ed doesn't have briefs for them. Luckily we have Brief-It in Case Catalyst, so I'll start working on conflict free legislative terms on my own. If you guys have any terms or briefs you have for Congressionals, even if you created them on your own, please let me know! I'll not only add them to my dictionary, providing they are conflict free with my dictionary, I'll add them to my flashcards. You'll get full credit for what you provide!

You can go ahead and check them out (click here), but note that its a work in progress and will take me a long time to complete. I'm doing everything manually in searches because my school hasn't provided us Congressional Briefs, and the reason is is that there aren't very many.

One I created on my own:

Clerk of the House - KLOURS, because Clerk of the Court is - KLOURT

Flashcards Update: Jury Charge/Q&A

Yesterday I ran into a few words I had a hard time with so I'm adding them to my flashcards:

appropriate - PROEPT
determine - TKERPL
emphasis - EFRP/SEUS
incumbent - EUPB/KUPL/PWEPBT
legislate - HREGT
legislative - HREGT/T*EUF
legislature - LEJ/SLAEU/KHUR

There are now 292 flashcards in the Jury Charge/Q&A Briefs and Phrases Flashcard Set. 

Flashcards Update: New Flashcard Sets

I added a couple new flashcard sets today. I would have told you earlier today if it hadn't been for blogger deciding to delete the flashcard page instead, and so I had to go back and repair it completely. Sorry its not as good as it used to be; it sure looked cool, but for some reason blogger is refusing to allow me to change the font on the table. We'll have to deal with it for now.

The first new flashcard set is StenED Contractions. They cover words like 'hereto,' 'whereabouts,' 'anything', 'anybody,' etc. They are from lesson 39 in the StenEd book, and so I flagged the ones that were most important according to my teacher and mandatory to memorize. They all will come around one time or another, so memorizing them is probably a good idea for everyone. There are a total of 92 flashcards.

The second new flashcard set isn't exactly new. It is Sten Ed High Frequency Phrases, and only covers multiple-word briefs and phrases, mandatory contractions, and mandatory compounds. This should make it easier for those who only want to practice those that are required by their teachers and theories. Its a total of 232 flashcards. I'll go through and flag the more important phrases, contractions, and compounds for those who have limited time.

My set StenED's High Frequency Words and Phrases also got updated and has a total of 471 flashcards in it due to the added compounds like I said I would, but I flagged the more important ones so they are separated from the others. The required words and phrases only include 224 cards, so if you have limited time only do the flagged ones. That's a lot of flashcard updates for those who use them. Hope you enjoy!

Flashcard Update: Flagging Flashcards

So I realized today I tend to add a lot of words in that may not be so important or mandatory. I decided to use the flag feature a little bit more so that I could separate some others, especially in the vastly popular Jury Charge and Q&A section and the High Frequency Briefs and Phrases section.

In the Jury Charge section I flagged the mandatory and recommended briefs from my teacher and assignments. So instead of doing a total 285 briefs and phrases that could be useful, but not necessarily needed, you can do a shorter route and only do 244 briefs and phrases which are vastly important. I hope this helps out for those who don't have as much time as I do to warm up.

In the High Frequency Briefs and Phrases section I mostly checked phrases, contractions, and words that are combined like 'everywhere', 'somewhere', and 'everything.' People really mess up on those so instead of doing a total of 376 briefs, phrases, and words you can go down to only 175 phrases and briefs. These will be very helpful, and again will help out those who don't have as much time as I do to warm up.

I'm also going to add all the combined words like 'everywhere', 'somewhere', and 'everything. in a few minutes in a new flashcard set and  in the High Frequency Briefs and Phrases set. These are high frequency and very important to memorize according to my teacher.

Update Flashcards: Jury Charge/Q&A

I just did an update to my Jury Charge and Q/A lists. I found a new more briefs from Case Catalyst's brief it by writing from my Legal Terminology book. I'm finding a lot of good briefs that will probably come up in the future.

appellate – PAELT
appellate court – PL-KT
certiorari – SERS/RAIR
court of appeals – KPAELS
executive – KPEBG/T*EUF
federal court – FROURT
legislative – LEGT/*EUF
state government – STKPWOFT
superior – SPER/YOR
supreme court – SPOURT

Were added to StenEd Conflict Free Jury Charge/Q&A Briefs and Phrases on March 25, 2011 at 1:48 PM PST. These briefs were from StenEd's Brief It only green words, which means they are official from the theory dictionary only. There are now a total of 285 Flashcards in this set.
