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.

It refers to every word used in the manual by unit and page number, so that a shorthand writer doesn’t just memorize each word he looks up in a dictionary, but learns the…
I’m having another go at learning Anniversary. I began by mostly reading using the two “Functional Method” books by Leslie. But I didn’t keep at it. Now as well as me doing it, I may have my assistant learn too. (I wish this stuff was still widely taught such that executive assistants came pre-trained in…
This will save the next person some time, since most of the programs were unacceptable. I only spent enough time with each one to decide if it would work without being frustrating. The first test was a 100-word sample. They all have free online demos. Please add any other programs you know of. All research…
I received this from a used-book seller on amazon, one of those annoyingly frequent cases of ordering one thing and receiving something quite different.
