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.
Dear John, I am wondering how to keep the symbols off when I copy and paste. e.g. my reply to Series 90. Sometimes I write in MS word and then transfer to the little window, because sometimes the little window times out before I send it and then I lose everything. Or I copy it…
Hi, I’m new to the group, but have always had an interest in Gregg Shorthand as it was a skill that my mother had learned in New York City around 1930 and of which she tried to teach me as a child. I did learn a few of the sounds and shortcuts and it did…
I have learned in Unit 3, paragraph 27 the blending of m and n. I jumped over to Unit 16, paragraph 133-5. So does ‘meant’ and ‘mend’ really transcribe as ? Or do meant and mend still follow after paragraph 27? What about the past form of ‘remain’? Remained transcibing as: ? As always, thank you….
Basically, my situation is as follows:I need to be able to take *very* rapid notes, faster than normal speech. These don’t need to be preserved for posterity or anything, in fact I only need to be able to read them for up to an hour after I write them. I hate writing with a pencil…
What are voiced consonants? What are unvoiced consonants? And alveolar plosives? I do remember taking an intro to speech pathology during nursing school which talked a bit about such things, but have forgotten. Billy (by sidhetaba for everyone)
Does anyone have an explanation for McGraw-Hill’s decision to publish series 90? Such simplification of the system doesn’t seem very logical, given the fact that shorthand has to be fast by nature. (by mark for everyone)
I’m online 24/seven, either on my home computer, work computer or cell phone. Hit me up at “johnesapp”. _________________Praise the lord, I saw the light line! (by johnsapp for everyone)
I’m confused about the formation of the past tense. In my Simplified manual, some words seem take a ‘d’ (e.g. received), others a ‘t’ (e.g. placed). I realise if I stop and think about it that the received ends in more of a ‘d’ sound, and placed in a ‘t’ sound, but stopping and thinking…
Hi everyone. My name is Ken. I live in Hamilton, Montana and I just joined your group today. I’ve an interest in Gregg shorthand as I majored in journalism at the U of Oregon years ago and have worked as a reporter, editor and news editor in Oregon, Idaho, Nevada and Montana.

Hello everyone, I learned shorthand back in the early 60’s. I’ve become very rusty at it. I would like to get a refresher course as I am soon to be unemployed and view shorthand as a good skill to list on the resume. Of late, I have seen more job ads looking for people with…
