Stenographie Gregg Blog!

Hi everyone, I’ve created a blog with texts written in French Gregg (with the keys). Check it out here: (stenographiegregg.wordpress.com). As you can probably see by the questionable penmanship, it’s certainly a work in progress and probably not very useful to anyone right now, but I’m using the blog to personally track my progress. One…

Speed Differences Between Languages?

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…

A Couple of Questions

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.

French adaptation?

I was wondering if there were resources online that have a French adaptation of Gregg? 🙂 I’m a French major so I take lots more notes in French than English, but I don’t want to start from square one with Duployé when I can just shuffle Gregg around and use it instead. I’ve started to…
