- Court Reporting Theory is learning how to write on the steno machine and is interrelated with the court reporting software that translates the court reporter's steno notes (the notes court reporters and captioners write on their stneo machines) into English that everyone can read.
- Arbitraries are an integral part of any court reporting theory. The Reatime Reporting and Captioning Theory incorporates the best method of learning arbitraries, without overwhelming the court reporting student with memory intensive training, which only serves to slow the students progress.
- The flexible concept of this revolutionary theory allows the student or court reporter to incorporate more arbirtaries througout the course of their career. A sensible approach that has proved to be successful both for students in training, as well as court reporters transitioning to realttime.

Basics of Theory and the Steno Machine
Most stenograph machines contain 22 keys and a number bar. All letters of the alphabet are not on the keyboard, but all letters can be written by combining letters to stand for other letters. Examples of this would be PB to designate the ending sound of a word with the letter N as in TON = TOPB. Also, there is no punctuation on the keyboard, but by simultaneously depressing the top row of keys on the right-hand side, the FPLT keys, we designate a period. By depressing the top row of keys on the left-hand side, STPH, we designate a question mark. Other punctuation is created in the same fashion by combining letters. Stenotype may be written phonetically, the way the word sounds, or as closely to the way the work is spelled as possible.
