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.
Hello! I’ve been recording a bunch of tough lit stuff for myself to help me get over the 170/180 hump, and I thought it seemed silly to keep it all to myself. Does anyone know of a place where I can upload (and hopefully organize somehow) MP3s to share with everyone? If I cut the…
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 just found a website that has dictation subscriptions available. It’s not too badly priced. For 4 weeks you can receive three dictations at your selected speed for $10.95 each. You can choose from Literary, Q&A (2-voice), Medical, or Names/Numbers. If you select the “special” 12-week subscription for $32.85, you can change your speed at any…
This morning I received The Medical Stenographer and The Legal Stenographer, both Anniversary coordinated in the mail. Both volumes are interesting with a wealth of graded dictation material. Not that I plan on a career in either field, I am so happy to have new material with loads of previews in beautiful shorthand – Radar…
I forgot to mention in my last posting another invaluable speedbuilding tool. Since 80% of my work is medical, the best medical reference, specifically for phrasing, is GREGG MEDICAL SHORTHAND MANUAL AND DICTIONARY by Effie Smither. Great outlines and disjoined prefixes and suffixes for anyone doing anything medically oriented. (by mountainmaningerogia for everyone)
Does anyone remember something called “Legal Stenography”? I seem to remember this was a form of Gregg particularly adapted for legal secretaries and paralegals. It existed in New York State when I lived there, and I seem to remember our teacher telling us it had a lot more brief forms for the legal vocabulary. Was…

Hello all! This is my first post so I’ll start with an introduction and then move on to my questions… I’ve got some serious intentions on picking up Gregg short hand. I’m an admin assistant and also a part time massage therapist. The usefulness of shorthand at the office job is obvious but I’m also…
Hi folks, I thought this was interesting on the CareerBuilder site about secretaries. Do you think–of those who will remain–that they could benefit from shorthand skills?

It’s nice to have someone else interested in medical shorthand. NDP stands for Doctor of Nursing Practice: I wonder how one would write NDP in shorthand–use intersection? (by bjb29407 for everyone)
