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 have found some old pieces of paper with shorthand on them, but I can’t read shorthand. I’m just curious what they say. Could anyone help me please? I have attached a scanned file for you. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks Attachment: Picture 012.jpg

I have created flash cards to aid in my study and memorization of the Anniversary brief forms. Perhaps they can be helpful to others as well. (by rdd331 for everyone)
Hi guys. I’ve been gone a while and a lot has happened but I plan on getting back into the swing of things. I just wanted you to know that I’ve decided to use my regular email address – I would forget to check the hotmail inbox. Anyway, JKeller@MissouriState.edu replaces JoanneK_1@hotmail.com so please change your…
Hey Everyone, I’m a freelance writer (and recent convert to Gregg) just getting started on research for an article about shorthand in America. Although I know a bit about the history of Gregg, I’m clueless about its current status: who still uses it; is there a ‘shorthand community’; how has it evolved since the schools…
I’m thinking of using a graphics tablet and gregg for text, but I’m concerned about hand pain/tiredness/cramping. How is gregg for these? Writing for a while usually results in pain for me. I can however use the keyboard for long stretches without anything. (by mk7357 for everyone)
I’ve attached a sample of some shorthand sent to me by tennfan07@bellsouth.net who wants the material transcribed. I think it’s Simplified and isn’t badly written. I did indicate there is usually a charge for the service. No need to let me know if you’re interested; let her (I think it’s a she) know directly. Marc…
A question for those who studied under a real teacher. I’ve taken dictation for Chapter 2 at approx 47wpm three times now, and my error rate is still 6%. (I add up the total words, subtract one word for each wrong or missed word and 1/2 a word for each bad outline.) Should I: a)…
We have come across my late father’s WWII (unauthorized) journals, written in Gregg Shorthand. He transcribed some shortly after he came back, equaling 10 typewritten pages, but the rest remain untranscribed. I never took any sort of shorthand, but am relatively intelligent and love a good puzzle. With the aid of the transcribed pages and…
Ages ago I asked about study buddies. I’m thinking bloggish. Things we’ve noticed or had troubles with that we can’t share with non-shorthand people, and would bore those who have more experience. I am often online between 10 and 2 on school days, Toronto time zone (EST), but I don’t hang out in chat rooms…
