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 just found a website that has dictation subscriptions available. It’s not too badly priced. For 4 weeks you can receive three dictations at your selected speed for $10.95 each. You can choose from Literary, Q&A (2-voice), Medical, or Names/Numbers. If you select the “special” 12-week subscription for $32.85, you can change your speed at any…

The note I tried to send yesterday just would not go. Guess whatever quirky thing the MSN server was doing is solved. At the end of today’s submission (don’t worry, I won’t be deluging the group with notes) I posed a question. If you can read my writing, please respond. Incidentally, I also vote in…
There was a really good speech by our Greens government in relation to the Australian budget, but woe she was talking at around 150. Shorthand usefulness is highly handicapped even at 100 even at 120.I suggest to learn a system that has a high ceiling speed, because you don’t want to be limited to below…

I am learning Gregg Anniversary on Windows Journal using shorthand.emf. I am having troubles with dilliberatly and acurately writing slowly because the pen, without my control, will circle automatically and go to options. Is there a way I can stop the pen from automatically going to options; that way I can write as slowly as I want…
Last year I purchased the Teach Yourself Pitman book and didn’t do much with it. I had a look at it the other day and (to my surprise) found it very clear with the examples and illustration (Yes, George Amberson, I even practiced the phrases in the first chapter.) While it’s not Gregg, I think…
There’s a copy (hard bound) of “Alice in Wonderland” listed on E-Bay again, starting price $9.99. I hope someone from this group can get it for a reasonable price! Alex (by alex for everyone)
Last weekend, I was watching a serie called “Mad Men”. I haven’t watched it before, but the environment of those years reminded to me some photos appeared, for example, in Simplified Gregg shorthand books. Does anyone follow this serie? VALO (by valo1969 for everyone)
Hi. I read that you just found the gregg group. I agree that its a great thing. Its very lonely sharing your shorthand knowledge only with vaguely interested friends. A lot of people here have learned shorthand in a class. I learned it from the resources and support that I found through this website and a…
