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 have chosen Anniversary as my version to learn !!! Whew… that decision is out of the way. Please give me some advice for studying from the Functional Method books. I remember…. from my brief start 2 years ago…. that there is no writing of shorthand until Assignment 22…. just reading. And I know that…
I joined this site in mid-2013 and was amazed at the incredible amount of information about Gregg Shorthand that Carlos and others have provided here. After reading all of the archived posts and learning about the different versions of Gregg Shorthand… and… learning about all of the available books and everyone’s recommendations about what version…

Hello, I’ve reached the end of chapter 9 in the simplified manual. I still haven’t start writing any shorthand because I thought I should learn all the theory and be able to read smoothly first. Anyway there was a term called C. O. D. in lesson 46, what does it mean? I’m guessing that it…
I scanned in some more charts, this time from Gregg Shorthand for the Electronic Office Parts 1 & 2 (1984). I created a key for them as well. Enjoy!
It dawned on me that going through the Transcription Simplified book has become something of a chore that I do because it’s part of the chain of things I set up for myself in order to learn Gregg Simplified. I can read those letters pretty quickly now, and I barely glance at the words before…
Does anyone know why “tactful” (and by extension, “tact”) keeps the ending -t in Simplified? This seems to contradict the rule about dropping the final -t. Thanks.
Hi gang, Sorry if this is a bit long. If you don’t want to read the background about my Gregg journey and why Simplified gives me burnout, skip down to the “***” marker. As some of you may recall, I started my studies last year with Notehand and soon switched to Simplified. I felt if…
