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 everyone, I’m one lesson away from finishing the Anniversary Functional Method Part One (celebrate!), and Part Two was due to arrive just as I finished Part One… but they accidentally sent me another copy of Part One. Oh well, I’m going to pick up in the Anniversary Manual where I left off. I have…
I’m starting a Gregg-learning club with some friends, as a productive quarantine/summer pastime, that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. In the past, I have tried teaching myself Anniversary, and even made a little bit of progress, but I’m hoping that with this accountability, I’ll be able to finally finish the thing….
This is a real head scratcher. The writer is now deceased. She learned shorthand back in the 1940s. When she wrote this, she was experiencing a very difficult time in her life. That’s the extent of the information I have. Here’s my best effort at translation so far. Any assistance would be appreciated: maybe need…
Greetings Fellow Shorthand Enthusiasts! I learned Gregg Shorthand in the 1980s in high school and am now working to both recover and advance that knowledge and skill. So far it’s a lot of fun and I am so grateful for this community and the resources it represents. Some questions that have surfaced during my self-guided…
Hello, Here is a small 1-page transcription. Please let me know if you find any mistake. I had to guess-write the English nouns (Hollywood, fitness, body building), so I’m not sure if they are written properly. The blanks between words are actually mistakes I crossed out and then deleted after scanning. Thanks!
Hello, I’m a bit confused about how to write this syllable because it is covered by two different rules, and it’s not so clear to me which applies when. Is there any easy way to know without having to pause and think every time? Thanks.
Hello, Yesterday I was writing my shopping list in French DJS, and I wanted to write peanut butter (beurre de cacahuète). But I had no idea how to render the a-w-e triphthong. This word isn’t in the DJS dictionary either… Any ideas? Thanks!
EDIT 2020-05-01: Found another Gregg medical steno book on Archive.org, added it and updated the count of Gregg medical shorthand books. Hello all, I’m trying to figure out which Gregg medical shorthand book to get. I poked around the blog archives, but I wasn’t able to find the exact answer to my question. So far…
Hello! This is my first post on the site, and I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Arjaan, and I’m a student learning Anniversary Gregg for interest. I hope you’ll excuse what, I’m sure, is an amateur’s question; how much of a size difference ought there to be between similar strokes? eg: l…
Hello, I’m wondering how bumpy the transition between two opposite curves should be when they are of the same length AND separated by a vowel. I’m basically thinking of L-A-L, R-A-R, G-A-G, but also V-A-B, and so on. In my French DJS book the bump is always quite pronounced, like here in the first outline…
