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.

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…
I did more recording today. Changing the files to get different speeds is a project for another day. Speaking at the correct speed is not easy. If my target speed is 60wpm, I mark it in 10 word sections (14 syllables, which agrees with the 20-word marks in the text). However, even when I watch…

I am learning the simplified method. I have written from dictation at times, but am not sure if the idea is that i should do this for every lesson. So my question is, at what point in learning theory is the self studying student supposed to begin using diction. I know that the obvious answer…
I’ve put them on my site because it’s easier for me to organize them that way. http://www.cricket.onebit.ca/Shorthand/Gs As the title says, dictation files for Simplified, Assignments 13-15 are up, for the speeds I expect will be most useful for this part of the book. (Below 40 is painful to create. Above 90 requires a new…
Every so often (far too often) I supplement study with seeing what else is out there. Today’s discovery: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/machine-speed-shorthand/id281584492 Machine Speed Shorthand from TAFE in NSW. 300 episodes of about 5 minutes each. It’s mostly legal matter, from 100wpm up. (by Cricket for everyone)
