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.
Various members of the group have scanned and posted vintage Gregg books. I wonder whether there would any interest in having a post of the expert Gregg text. I don’t have the knowledge to do this, but someone else might. brian (by bjb29407 for everyone)
In GREGG SPEED BUILDING, 1929, I’ve found a couple of words which aren’t written correctly or, at least, the way I write them (and my Anniversary dictionary writes them). Is anyone aware of system refinements which may have occurred? Were there problems with transcription, resulting in the use of alternate forms in later printings? Are…

Hello fellows! I was checking and updating my curriculum vitae, and remembered that I worked as a shorthand writer… A friend of mine needed to do some papers, because he was lecturing law classes (he’s a lawyer); but he hadn’t got enough time to do that, so he hired me for helping him. He dictated…
Does anyone have the Gregg Shorthand Simplified manual, with the blue-grey hard cover, 1950 edition? I’ve lost mine and I’d like to order one and have it sent airmail. The problem is its weight. It’ll cost me a fortune if it’s heavier than one kilo (approximately two pounds). Can anyone tell me how much it…
Interesting story from the Washington Times. I wonder if it’s the start of a revival? Kevin http://www.washtimes.com/metro/20050116-103711-2772r.htm (by kevinwal for everyone)
Just for the fun of it, here’s a page on alien shorthand. Apparently you can fit 20 pages of text into a few symbols! http://www.abduct.com/symbols/s11.php Don’t ask me how I found the site. Was in fact searching for ‘shorthand’. (by wordsigner for everyone)
Okay. I can’t stand it. I’ve just spend 40 frustrating minutes reviewing old posts. Well, not entirely frustrating because I had a few good laughs. Someone, or some people posted two or three websites which have speed building audio files available, not all for free, but I only put one in my favourites. www.stenospeed.com Which…
First, thanks to the maintaners of this group; what a wonderful way to stimulate shorthand culture. I’m a new Simplified student eager to apply every alphabetical element I learn by “spelling” things out in daily personal notes and so forth; but I wonder if I’d better restrain myself until the theory and a sufficient number…
I’m stuck on a few words in the Recall Chart (section 475) in Lesson 54 of Simplified. Row 8, number 2 (between ‘bank’ and ‘required’)Row 9, number 4 (between ‘completed’ and ‘stipulating’)Row 15, number 1 (before ‘agents’) Help! 🙂Kevin (by kevinwal for everyone)
