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.
Does anyone know the exact time span before a book can be considered public domain. I can see on Google Docs, a wealth of anniversary books, but nothing beyond 1922 is viewable or downloadable. By this logic, you’d expect, the that copyright of a book is 85 years. This would mean we would have to…
The second number of the “Shorthand Newspaper” (Maron System, from Brazil), has just been launched! Its aim: help the online shorthand students to develop their reading and, at the same time, to be an interesting way of doing it. For the time being, the online shorthand course has the average of 5 new students per…
Here’s an interesting chart linking consonants to numbers in an aid to create mnemonic devices. You have to scroll around half way down the page. http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~tanguay/memory_main.htm I find the concept really interesting, and I can imagine after a while it could really become second nature (like shorthand) but I’m not too happy with the ‘r’…

Can someone tell my son a mere 20 hours of typing practise will make a huge difference? (by cricketbeautiful-1 for everyone)
Hey, folks — I’m working on a transcription job. I’ve got the Gregg covered. However, there are two short notes written in Pitman. Unfortunately, my Pitman didn’t make it past the first few lessons. I’m hoping that someone can assist me in completing this transcription. The notes were written in 1936. Any referrals would be…
I invite you to take a look at the new page of my website: a whole page in Shorthand. Its name: “Shorthand Newspaper”. Every month a new page will be launched. The aim: to help the online students to develop their shorthand reading. I hope you like the idea. And I also hope that many…
I received a request for transcription of a shorthand page, which is part of a coroner’s report that will feature in a documentary. Ideally, the researcher wants a full transcription by the end of the week. If you are interested in the job, please contact Allie Orton, at AlexandraOrton@walltowallusa.com. The job requires to fill out a…
Hey a little incident to tell everyone about. I am part of a Jewish group which runs activities on Israel and the like. So I’m coming into Borders to read some books on the Intifada. I realise, I’m not gonna pay for the books. I don’t have my voice recorder and even if I did,…
In one of my Gregg Writer magazines, it was mentioned the movie “The Champions Write”. I’d imagine this be some sort of documentary with Gregg and other pen stenographers. It would be amazing to watch. Does anyone know of any existing copies? (by michael_lisitsa for everyone)
I just found an online shorthand course: Gregg Shorthand 101 (Centennial Version). It is sponsored by universalclass.com. The link is here: http://www.universalclass.com/i/crn/33894.htm The interesting thing is that it is really a Gregg Shorthand Simplified course (not centennial). Here is the outline, which follows exactly the lessons in the Simplified Gregg manual: http://www.universalclass.com/i/course/shorthand/syllabus.htm. In addition, they recommend…
