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.

The good news is I’m not struggling with my target speed. I’m struggling with 10wpm faster. The bad news is the time listed in the titles for at last some of the computer-speech files is wrong. So, I strongly suggest you do a bit of math with the time of each file and the word…
And the final batch. As always, let me know if there are problems. I caught one file with more than one passage, and some typos, but there are probably more.
