Gregg Shorthand

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.

    • Sean Goldfarb 3 March 2023 at 12:06 pm on Question about Notehand “R”But wouldn't "hurry" be written as h-e-r-ee"? Unfortunately for me, an imaginary American accent doesn't always work for me haha,
