Gregg Shorthand, the universal system.

Gregg Shorthand was first published on May 28, 1888, and has been learned and used
successfully by millions of writers throughout the entire world. Gregg Shorthand was written in
English but has been successfully adapted to numerous other languages, including Spanish and
French. The terms shorthand and Gregg are synonymous to most people. Gregg Shorthand is the
universal system of shorthand; it is used by more shorthand writers than any other system in the
world.

Gregg Shorthand is used by secretaries as a tool that enables them to obtain and hold
interesting and rewarding positions. It is used by business and professional people who are
relieved of the burden of writing longhand in making notes, preparing important papers, and
drafting reports. The success of any system of shorthand rests on the merits of its alphabet. The
Gregg alphabet is the most logical, consistent, and efficient shorthand alphabet devised in more
than 2,000 years of shorthand history. The fact that this alphabet, virtually without change, has
been the basis of Gregg Shorthand for more than 90 years is a tribute to the genius of its
inventor, John Robert Gregg.

Introduction

This module helps realizing the students that they will be able to learn and write Gregg
shorthand since they have learned writing in longhand. The strokes they write in longhand –
curves, hooks, circles, straight lines – are the same strokes they will write in Gregg Shorthand. It
helps the learners to learn about the basic shorthand strokes that can help them read and
transcribe. The learners will acquire new skill in transcribing words, sentences and paragraphs
that can be used in different offices for meetings, seminars and for different confidential
documents.
