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.

Hi, all. Although I try to practice everyday, I can only get in about 30-45 minutes; thus, my speed is still around 50 wpm. It really encourages and motivates me when I watch videos of people taking dictation! I think I’ve watched all that I can find on YouTube… Would you guys be willing to…
