The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources. As the primary use for shorthand — business and legal recording — has waned in recent decades, we generally acclaim the skill as a hobby or personal tool. The purpose of the group is to promote the use of Gregg systems of shorthand by providing advice to beginners, support for students, and an association of users of this efficient, attractive, and enjoyable method of writing.
Hi guys, I’m trying to work my way through the Gregg Shorthand Manual Simplified and have come across a sentence that I need help on. I get the second half but not the beginning. Could anyone help me figure it out? It’s number five. I think this shows what I’m really frustrated about, which is…

Hello everyone, I have been studying shorthand periodically since the 1970s, all self-study. I use it occasionally for note taking. When I first started learning, I expected that one of the uses would be taking notes in class, but I never really used shorthand for that. When I finally got enough speed to be able…
Hi everyone! Just thought I would take a moment to introduce myself to the group (I tried to do it on the “New Member” post but I kept getting logged off for some reason). My name is Kelsey and I am a PhD student in Social Anthropology. As part of my research I am going…
Am wondering if there is a sentence (or two) that is documented anywhere that captures all–or most–of the character variations and combinations in Gregg (any version).

I came across these videos recently and thought members of this group might be interested. Vivien Spitz was the first female Gregg reporter in the US House of Representatives and wrote Gregg at 260+ wpm. She discusses her background and career as a (court) reporter, Gregg writer, etc. She was a reporter at the Nuremberg…
