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.
Hi guys, if you’re interested, here is the link to a video I uploaded on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQinJECnWDc It’s me taking down shorthand at a speed of approximately 85 wpm (not too fast… I know) with the Italian system Cima. Ciao, Lucio (by _frantico_rn1 for everyone)
I’ve been in yet another hiatus. I’m pretty mad at myself for stopping my studies, because if I hadn’t, I could’ve finished studying one year ago. Oh well, back to the books 😀 (Thanks again, sidhe, for the book ;)) (by zekiel1999 for everyone)
I’ve added a few new links on my ShorthandShorthandShorthand site (http://www.geocities.com/shorthandshorthandshorthand/Links.htm). One of particular interest is http://www.freewebs.com/weloveshorthand/Home.htm which has lots of FREE dictation from 50-120 wpm. I finally fixed the error or not listing Cricket’s dictation machine. (Sorry, Cricket!) AND, lastly, I found three articles which document attempts to have a computer (PDA) trasncribe handwritten Pitman…

I’m posting this because I just don’t have the time. From what I was told, the notes are from 1962 but I don’t know what system because she won’t send me a sample. It might not even be Gregg.

I hope a kind member will be willing to help me transcribe a short [three sentences + PS] memo that I found among the 1963 correspondence between my then wife to be, JoAnn, and me. The memo seems to be about trying to set up a meeting time. It is undated but was most likely…
My son is starting to use an AlphaSmart in school because of his handwriting. (Cheap laptop, well-designed for the school market.) Naturally, I went to the library and looked into shorthand that can be used for the computer. Question: Has anyone adapted Gregg for a keyboard? I looked at the font in documents here, but…
Last weekend, I was watching a serie called “Mad Men”. I haven’t watched it before, but the environment of those years reminded to me some photos appeared, for example, in Simplified Gregg shorthand books. Does anyone follow this serie? VALO (by valo1969 for everyone)
Hi. I read that you just found the gregg group. I agree that its a great thing. Its very lonely sharing your shorthand knowledge only with vaguely interested friends.
