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.
It has been a bit but I’ve been working on my shorthand again. For reference, I completed the original anniversary manual a few years ago and enough has stuck with me that I can roughly keep up with many of the 60 wpm dictations on youtube although I find that I do sometimes have hesitation…
Here is the first section of the Wikipedia entry for Trick-or-treating, transcribed in Anniversary. I was consciously trying to fit everything on one page, so the outlines are sometimes a bit close together. Enjoy! Attachment: trick-or-treating.pdf
Hello, I’m not sure if this is a word in English too, but I can’t figure out how to write indissociable according to DJS theory (I’d be interested in how other series write it too). I know that dis- is just D-S, so indiss- would probably be ind-blend+S, but then there’s an O right after it,…
Hello Everyone, My name is Alycia. I am new to the site. I have to say I am quite impressed with how well it is laid out, the quality of the posts, as well as the informative feedback. I learned Gregg Shorthand back in the mid-1980s. I had no idea that there were multiple versions…
I’ve been dabbling in English Gregg (or rather simply trying to read texts) and now that I identify letters more quickly than before and without confusing them as much as in the past, I find English DJS to be quite legible, apart for the occasional short forms or unusual diphtongs that are not used in…
Most of us return to Standard Time next weekend, so I’ve transcribed the first few paragraphs of the Wikipedia page on Daylight Savings Time into Anniversary to give everyone a little reading practice. Enjoy! Attachment: daylight-savings-time.pdf

Hello, I’d like to know which S is used to write absolutely in Anniversary. I came across absolument in French DJS and was surprised to find out that the S was just marked by making the end of the O-shape slightly lower than its beginning, as in “juste” but upside-down. Soleil is written with right…
Hello, I hope everybody is doing well in these strange times. I’m posting here a random piece on machismo in political figures. I’ve transcribed it on a steno pad which seems to be the right size (at least it’s the same size as Carlos’s texts). Yet I feel my writing is crammed and I have…
I’ve looked through Anniversary posts and have downloaded quite a few practice books. Thank you to Carlos and others who have contributed things. I’m sure I’ll eventually read things Carlos has transcribed, especially the American history writings. My favorite thing I found is the Reverse Dictionary. When I was going through the instruction manual the first…
