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.
I’ve recently become interested in Sweet’s “Current Shorthand”. As the manuals on abebooks are very highly priced, I was wondering if someone had a copy to sell at a more reasonable price. Thank you! (by _frantico_rn1 for everyone)
I have had a problem in locating available Gregg shorthand books/materials for the French language and I was wondering if anyone has compiled a universal Gregg shorthand method for other languages that are transcribable using the IPA system of sounds?Thank you. (by redshift0101011 for everyone)

I’m finally done with all the theory chapters (that took what, three/four years?) and have come across a mystery outline that I simply cannot decipher in lesson 54! It looks really bizarre. It’s in row 8 of the recall chart, second one in after “bank”. That “ia” at the end just totally mystifies me, and…
What do all of you do when you run into unfamiliar words in dictation? I notice that even at 60wpm, I totally flip out, make some vague scribble that’s always wrong, and then end up so behind I have to start over. For example, I’ll be going along just fine: “I trust that you will…
I’ve noticed references on the internet to titles such as “Gregg Typing for Colleges,” and “Gregg Computer Shorthand”. Are these “alphabetizations” of the standard symbolic Gregg? (by routine-sibling for everyone)
A joint discussion about two systems 🙂 I’m a shorthand nut in general and have looked at everything from ABC Shorthand to Duploy챕, and I discovered books on each of these systems in the library basement stacks today, after having my interest piqued by casual references to them on this site. First, for Century 21,…
My subject title is somewhat rhetorical having read the commentary on series 90’s limitations. But I have specific, serious questions and reasons for asking. I, like most of you, am amazed at the speeds of the earlier and more difficult versions. I also decided that the most sensible version for me would be the DJ…
I don’t know if this has been posted before, but just in case it hasn’t, Gregg Speed Studies, printed in 1916, is now back in print. To wit: http://snipurl.com/1cebg (by georgeamberson1 for everyone)
For some of you with more experience: (I guess that would be anyone….) After reading aroung the Gregg sites on the web, and this one, I’ve decided to go with learning either DJ or Simplified–I’m leaning to Simplified, since I’ve already got the book, and he extra brief forms don’t appear to be too much…
