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.
Just wanted to complement the Gregg signature posted on the pictures part of the forum. He always seems to put in a little bit of shorthand into his personal notes. Here it should say “With ever good wishes” but Gregg has just cut off his ‘s’ off the wishes although the intention is there. If…
I found this searching for something else in shorthand. It’s from The New York Time August 25, 1912. Called “Is speed Stenography a Gift or Hard Work?” Here’s the link http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9506EFDB113AE633A25756C2A96E9C946396D6CF If that doesn’t work try this http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9506EFDB113AE633A25756C2A96E9C946396D6CF Then click on View Full Article.

When the judge says to strike out a comment, how “striked out” is it? Just a line through it but still in the book, or totally destroyed? I heard a while ago about a judge making inappropriate comments, then asking that they be stroked out, but don’t remember if the reporter’s book was called as…
Does anyone know of any shorthand classes either online or in the United States? I think Jubilee was what I learned in high school (early 70s), but I’m open to any of them. Thank you, Connie (by connieshorthand88 for everyone)
Thats the question? Several of us have learned (or are learning) Anniversary yet we see from our results and even the results in the Gregg Writer, real verbatim proficiency was very rare. I once read somewhere that there is no way to acquire verbatim shorthand without consistent and dedicated effort. It is quite obvious no…
I found a post here that included pictures of Sweet shorthand, and it’s very pleasing to the eye. The only problem is I can’t for the life of me decipher the example text using the key provided. I just can’t discern the individual letter shapes in the word forms and break them up. sample text:…
Hello, I taught myself Teeline shorthand two years ago. It took me three weeks to be able to write down whatever I needed to. It is fascinating and simple. I am not trying to ‘proselitize’ anyone of you, but there are ‘shorthand polyglots’ around who may care to have a look. Feel free to send…
I hope this isn’t inappropriate— I’m paring down duplicates out of my collection of shorthand books. These are all reading/using copies with fairly tight bindings, and generally some previous student markings inside. I have in Anniversary:Functional method vol 1 and 2Regular Anniv manualDictionarySpeed studies. Simplified: Simplified for Colleges, Vol 1, 1st ed.Simplified Manual, 1st edGregg…

Anyway…got a fall catalog from the local community college in the mail this weekend and guess what is being offered….”Gregg Shorthand: the Lost Art (for beginners) …
