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.
I have a silly little plot for a fanfiction short story, but could use help with the shorthand. A character who does not know shorthand finds a note in shorthand, picks up a text book, looks at the alphabet in the front and sets to work. Naturally, he gets half of it wrong, and hilarity…
I never thought about it before, but the tapes from pre-computer steno machines are probably hard to hold down while transcribing. This is a holder for the tapes. It looks like the tape is about 2 inches wide, fan-folded in 8 inch sections. Really, really rough guesses as to the measurement. http://cgi.ebay.ca/GREEN-Steno-Note-Stand-Stenograph-Note-Court-Reporting_W0QQitemZ330213726387QQihZ014QQcategoryZ62044QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (by cricketbeautiful-1 for…

OK, folks, I’ve posted a table (http://www.shorthandshorthandshorthand.com/Shorthand_vs_Machine.htm) to my site and am wondering if I left out anything important. The table shows, as honestly as possible, the superiority of using a shorthand writer as opposed to a dictating machine in the office environment. Of course, that table is from my standpoint when I was a…
I recently received this message on my ShorthandShorthandShortand site: “. . .while looking online for someone I could hire to transcribe some passages into Gregg as it might have been written circa 1929. Would you be interested in and available for such a job? The text doesn’t amount to more than a couple of hundred…
We’ve improved the “slow it down!” program for computerized dictation. The program is at:http://www.onebit.ca/cgi-bin/short.py This online program (source code available on request) will insert ssml codes into normal text. The resulting text file is then fed into a free text-to-speech program, and the resulting sound file can be saved to disk. We’ve added extra time…
Well after many a visit to Angelfishy’s gregg page, I decided to discover a bit about this language called esperanto. It was a constructed international language, which had no particular link to any other languages and very much based on roots, from which many words can be formed. These days as I read, its only…
I once found a link to a site that had free dictation sound files in everything from 40wpm to 220wpm. It was a simple site with two frames, and a cartoon secretary taking dictation as a mascot. Unfortunately, I can’t find the site again for the life of me, and I’m surprised it isn’t in…
Fellow stenographers, today is St. Casian’s Day according to my National Notary Assoc. Calendar. St. Casian is the patron saint of stenographers and was martyred on this day in 298 a.d. (I did not make this up…) Cheers! (by troutgirl1501 for everyone)
