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 was reading the Anniversary edition of the manual again, and I read how it had been adapted to Gaelic. The edition this was written in is the 1919 Anniversary manual. Can we be sure that the Irish edition is out of copyright by now, or may there be later editions?
The following business letters appeared in the October 1939 issue of El Taquígrafo Gregg, the Spanish version of The Gregg Writer, written in the 1923 edition of the system. The language in the letters is somewhat antiquated: they are not the easiest letters to transcribe either, so if someone wants to attempt a transcription, post…
Emile Zola’s quote in English: In French: In Spanish: In Portuguese: In Esperanto: In German: In Italian:
Hi everyone, I’ve created a blog with texts written in French Gregg (with the keys). Check it out here: (stenographiegregg.wordpress.com).

One…

Hi everyone, Does anyone know how fast I can expect to get to in French Gregg shorthand? I’ve seen something on Spanish Gregg somewhere, saying that one can only hope to attain a fraction of English speed. The record in English is around 280, but I can’t imagine anyone getting to 280 in French. For…
Hi everyone, I’m progressing through the French Gregg adaptation by R. J. Sénécal and have a couple of questions. They are pretty elementary, but they have been bugging me for a while. I hope my questions will also help others who are starting Gregg too. I’ll try to organise this post as best I can….
I just found a sweet little volume, “Sténographie Gregg”, 1924, by Ernest W. Farmer M.D. (!), published by Gregg but printed in Norwood, Massachusetts. It came with the “Clef de la Sténographie Gregg”, a single sheet of “errata”, and a form from Marywood College in Scranton, PA listing those who were absent on April 20,…
Hi everyone, I’ve been working on the 1939 adaptation of Gregg Shorthand to French for about a month now, for use in school (I’m in Grade 9). I’ve had moderate success: I can NEVER read the Reading Exercises, but I can always read back my own notes (no doubt it’s 90% memory though). I understand…
