# Gregg Preanniversary Words

This dataset is derived from the 1916 *Gregg Shorthand Dictionary*<sup>1</sup>
and builds on top of the [Gregg1916](https://github.com/anonimously/Gregg1916-Recognition)
dataset by:

- Correcting the labels of 250+ images
- Adding 550+ images for words missing in the original dataset
- Redoing 100+ poorly cropped images or images with stray marks

## Structure

The dataset contains three columns:

- **image**: The image of a shorthand form in the dictionary
- **grascii_normalized**: The normalized grascii of the shorthand form
- **longhand**: The English longhand represented by the shorthand form

## Issues

If you notice any problems in the dataset, open an issue in the
[datasets](https://github.com/grascii/datasets) repository.
