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 folks, Once again, someone has contacted me with notebooks filled with shorthand they’d like to have transcribed. (As usuall, I just don’t have the time!) It’s definitely pre-Anniversary Gregg. I’ve attached a file of a scan of the notes. As always, I’ve warned Greg there’s a charge involved. He doesn’t say how many notebooks…
Hi there, I am looking into learning shorthand. Actually this is something that I need and want to do in order to excel in my career. I have done quite a bit of research on here today and have decided that Greggs Shorthand Diamond Jubilee is the one for me. Now I need to buy…
Ok. So I started out learning the Series 90 edition of GS, then I discovered the beauty and splendor of Anniversary! Yes I’m in love with Anny, BUT.. I frustrated by how it’s set up! Where you see an outline for something that you haven’t learned yet? And when I have to make an outline for a word that has…
Hi. I’m new to Gregg and am wondering what the major differences are between the versions. I know you guys get this question all the time (having read half a dozen of them already on the discussion board) and I already took a look at the comparison, but I still have questions. What are the…
Forgive me if I’ve missed this information in previous discussions, but how does everyone check their shorthand writing speed? Many years ago, I had a set of Gregg dictation writing practice aids (cassettes, I think), but they must have disappeared in one of my moves. As I haven’t seen anything comparable in eons, what does…
Hello, I don’t know if anyone can help me here but some time ago I used to teach shorthand and had a set of stickers of various speeds that adhered to the front of a mechanical stopwatch to enable dictation of the same passage (counted in 10s) to any speed. Does anyone know of anywhere…
I’m a writer and I usually do all of my manuscripts on the computer. I type over 90 wpm so I’m fine as long as I’m in front of a computer, but I now have a 90 minute commute (1 way) to work and I’m finding that this is when my best brainstorming has been coming into…
I found the following letter in a Gregg Writer, and it’s full of words that can cause some difficulty. I decided to post it so that you can test yourself. Have fun! —————————My dear Sir: Your query concerning the late football games brings up a question that is with us every fall. As a matter…
Hi Everybody, I have had several “transitional issues” going on this year so I haven’t posted much. I have tried to keep up with the site. I’m glad to hear John has finished the Simplified Manual. I have tried to maintain my shorthand progress, but various circumstances forced me to let it go for a…
Does anybody else find the hints in the margin of the simplified manual’s reading and writing practice, off the mark? You know, the ones that are supposed to “help with the outlines that may stump you”. They ,time and time again, give a hint for an outline that is obvious but for a real tough…
