PLEASE NOTE THE NEW WEB ADDRESS: http://shorthandshorthandshorthand.com/
The old site is gone. . . .
Shorthand, especially pen shorthand, is not dead by any means.
True, it is not experiencing the glory days it had in the past; however,
there are thousands or millions those who still use it for employment purposes,
who use personal shorthand to make their lives easier and more productive, or
who enjoy it as a hobby. This site
is devoted to all those people who find shorthand a means of communication, an
indispensable business or personal tool for making records and notes, and for
those of us (really weird people like me!) who are fascinated by it and enjoy it
for no other reason.
For a brief and incomplete list of how shorthand is usually (but not always) better than tape-recording something, click here.
Personally, I am a Gregg (Anniversary) writer. This is a site for all shorthand writers, specifically pen writers of all and any systems. To help you navigate through this site, here are the basics:
| If you're interested in learning shorthand, here's what you need to do. | |
| A brief description of modern shorthand systems. | |
| Gregg Shorthand has evolved into several versions. Here's why. | |
| Gregg writers can find out which version of Gregg Shorthand they write. | |
| Want to write faster? Here are some suggestions. | |
| Go back in history for a transcript from old shorthand texts on various subjects suitable for self-dictation practice. The material is now also dictated at 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140 wpm. This section is updated monthly. | |
| Items for sale. Speed CDs now available at a reduced price! | |
| Other web sites of interest (links updated June 2009). | |
| Information about me, your web host. |
Want to learn shorthand? If you're thinking about learning shorthand for personal or business use, I suggest Gregg Diamond Jubilee (which is shown above), Pitman 2000 (shown elsewhere on the site), or one of the alphabetic systems on the market today such as SpeedWriting (show below) or AlphaHand (shown elsewhere). Visit Getting Started for more information.
