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.
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…
These articles show the use of Gregg Shorthand in medical reporting. Their titles are “Basal Metabolism”, “Relation of Heat Production to the Thyroid Gland”, “Anatomy of the Thyroid Gland”, and “Heart Sounds.” They were written in Pre-anniversary Gregg and were published in the September to November 1927 and in the February 1928 issues of The…

I just joined this group, and I’m very excited about it. It’s great to see a site devoted to Gregg, especially in a day when utility for shorthand is generally seen as waning. I taught myself shorthand in 6th grade when I came across my mother’s shorthand books from business school. I learned the 1949…
With the introduction of the Diamond Jubilee Series (DJS) in 1963, Louis Leslie expanded on the simplifications that were introduced by him in 1949 in the Simplified Series (discussed here and in my comment here), based on analysis obtained from actual notes written from dictation by students and stenographers. The addition of more simplifications to…
Teaching shorthand has been my great passion all my life. Since I retired, I’ve been teaching it on our local high-school’s community education program, off and on, for more than ten years. It has been an ongoing program; however, every time they could not get a sufficient number of students to sign up, they had…
