The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources.

The key to the 2nd edition of Gregg Speed Studies is divided into two sections. The first is the longhand key to the reading and dictation drills, and the 2nd is the shorthand key to the writing drills. There are also a few pages tucked away in the back with the outlines of frequent surnames…
Direct-Method Materials was first released in 1933. (The 2nd edition in 1942 included a much improved word and phrase index.) More useful reading material to accompany the Manual. And here’s the key! Attachment: Teachers Key to Direct-Method Materials.pdf
