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.

For example, you can create a filter that will only show new messages from this forum. Give it a try. I already did and I…
There’s a 13 year old posting impressive speeds of Handywrite shorthand these last few months. His name is Jan but goes under ‘ocergnairb’ I wonder if he surfs this forum? The major thing I noticed as a pose to my own studies, is that after 3 months he was having almost no gaps between words….
I posted a photo in the photo section because I thought this was interesting. I found the magazine at a second hand store and since it has crochet in it (my other hobby) I bought it. I flipped through it and found this ad. I love (not) how it says she went to a “glorious…
Found this in an old magazine I got from a second hand store for .25 cents. It’s from a Wordbasket magazine. It’s for speedwriting, but I thought it was interesting enough to shar anyway. For some reason my eye caught this particular ad when flipping through the magazine… hmm… 😉 (by Deborah for everyone)
