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.
TaDa! A complete set of sound files for the speed-building tests (and a desire to add a feature to the program — put codes in the text to change speed within text — it might have been faster than piecing together bits from several ssml files). The zip file is about 18MB. If you find…
Is anyone using the Simplified files? Will anyone but me be disappointed if the project isn’t finished? I’m tempted to restart the project with Anniversary material.

Hi All, As you know, I’ve been recording and uploading dictation files as I need them. I spend a few hours doing as many as I can before life intervenes. Some days (after four attempts to record a passage at 60wpm), the computer text-to-speech program is very tempting. The current computer method works, but I’d…

This will save the next person some time, since most of the programs were unacceptable. I only spent enough time with each one to decide if it would work without being frustrating. The first test was a 100-word sample. They all have free online demos. Please add any other programs you know of. All research…
