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.

Bless your heart and Thank you so much for posting the Gregg Student's transcript. This is very helpful.
You're welcome! I think it's crazy that the Simplified text is the only one still in print and actively selling, yet the student transcript is unavailable for it. I wish you the best of luck with it!
Thank you Teri for this transcript. I starting using Diamond Jubilee, but I am seeing the value of learning Simplified, so I just bought the book and this transcript is very helpful.
I'm glad I could help! Good luck with your Simplified studies!
Thank you for this. I look forward to being able to work with this document to finally figure out some of the items that I have not been able to resolve.
Hi there, is this scan still available? I don't see the link where indicated. Thanks for digging it up!
I removed the link for copyright reasons.
Ah, bummer. Thanks for letting me know.
Send us the sentence and your best guess at the letters you struggle with. Also, try reading them a day later. They often become clear when we stop struggling, or when we carefully look at each sound.
Yeah, usually when I read it later it makes sense. It's often a phrase that throws me, but if it's a word I can usually look it up in the dictionary and figure it out. Thanks for the offer! If I ever get particularly stuck, I will definitely post something.
If I'm really stuck on a word I write out each letter at the top of a column, sometimes two letters if I'm not sure the length. Under each one I write all the things it might be. For Sh, I write sh, tion, trial, ship, shall… That works most of the. If it doesn't, I try each combination. AAA, AAB,…CAB,…ZZZ. Or I give up and check the key or ask the group. Gregg simplified functional petition to says to check the key in mediately rather than struggle with each a word. My kids' kindergarten teachers said making them sound out words turns reading into a struggle instead of a good story. We found it varied with story, word, and how tired they were.
I started a list, sorted by Gregg spelling, of what each letter or group of letters can mean, including brief forms, but not words that were mostly spelled out. I stopped updating it several chapters ago. I might go back and update it, but I don't need it as much now.
If anyone wants a copy of the Simplified key, it can be found for free on ZLibrary. You will need to sign up for an account, though.
