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.

Obviously I need some practice, but this is what I have right now. I’m on assignment 6, ch 1. I have trouble forming certain letter combinations, and I’m sorry but I don’t have time to type out what it’s supposed to say right now. 🙁
I just wanted to stop by and say hello and introduce myself. My name is Brenna and I’m in high school and I’m teaching myself Diamond Jubilee Gregg in my free time. I am now able to take notes with it, but I’m still very slow. 🙁 Here’s a small sample of my writing, an excerpt from…

In celebration of the 4th of July, I have written The Declaration of Independence in Anniversary, Simplified, DJS, Series 90, and Centennial. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing.
