The Court Reporter's Reference of Realtime Conflicts

The Court Reporter’s Reference of Realtime (Second Edition)The Court Reporter’s Reference of Realtime Conflicts aids court and realtime reporters with finding conflicts in their writing. There are three basic types of conflicts: homonyms, stenonyms, and word-boundary conflicts.

Homonyms are words that sound the same but are spelled differently: to, too, and two.

Stenonyms are words or phrases that might use the same steno outline: "tot" and "to the."

Word-boundary conflicts are similar stenonyms. When the same steno outline is used for a prefix, a word, a word part, or a suffix, conflicts may arise because the ending of one word and the beginning of the next word is not clear: sentry view and sent review.

The Court Reporter’s Reference of Realtime Conflicts contains approximately 3,000 prefixes, words, word parts, or suffixes that may form homonym, stenonym, and word-boundary conflicts.
