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.

Hey, Charles!
95 words in Spanish counted as Pitmans do, so how many words are in Gregg?
Pretty cool! I see lots of reporting shortcuts!!!!
95ppm does it mean 95 palabras por minuto (or similar)? The international standard is syllables per minute (spm), so 95ppm means 190 spm – incredibly good score ;-).
The most of common English words are 1 or 2 syllables long, so Gregg's wpm usually means spm – Carlos, do you know, how it is actually counted?
I need to know the number of syllables. In Spanish, a standard word is 2 syllables long in Gregg. So divide the number of syllables by 2 and you will get the Gregg wpm rate.
I thought a standard word was 1.4 syllables? Or is that just in English?
Just in English. In Polish, for example it's ~3 syllables and still we have declination and conjugation. Only syllable is interlingually comparable 😉
OK I did the work: 429 syllables… who can do the maths?
Anyway. I did it again: 429 syllables in 2 minutes, so 214 in 1 minute.
214 / 2 = 107 wpm in Gregg
214 spm, am I right?
That's just in English. Spanish Gregg uses 2.
Yes, but Pitman counts actual words. That's why we need to know how many exact syllables there were in the passage, because some words can be short.
Correct!
Yes.
