Abstract: A COMMUNICATING TYPEWRITER AND DICTATION SYSTEM UTILIZING ANALOG RECORDING AND TRANSMISSION TECHNIQUES A combined communicating typewriter/dictation system which utilizes a common modem as an interface between an electronic typewriter, a mass media recorder and a communications line. The modem replaces digital logic and audio tones are recorded on the mass media recorder instead of digital tones. When the system is in a local mode the digital keystroke signals from the typewriter are modulated by the modem and recorded by the mass media recorder. In a communications mode the recorded keystroke signals are demodulated and then remodulated before transmission over the communications line to eliminate noise and other extraneous signals that tend to increase the error rate of the transmitted signals. When data is received by the system for storage on the mass media recorder, the transmitted data is demodulated and then remodulated by the modem to eliminate noise from the transmitted signal. In both communication paths the analog signal input to the modem is processed twice before it is either forwarded to the mass media recorder or to the communications line. In addition to the foregoing recording functions, the mass media recorder can also be utilized to record and/or playback audio information. The dual utilization of the modem and the mass media recorder results in a low cost system without sacrificing much in the way of recording error rate. LE9-78-024

Abstract: SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY PROOFREADING A DOCUMENT Spelling errors in a word processing system are detected and presented to the operator for correction at the end of a document page. A dictionary memory contains representations of the correct spellings for words most frequently used. As each word is typed, it is stored in a word queue where it is compared to the contents of the dictionary memory. If the compare is unequal, then the word and its location on the page is stored in an error memory. When an end of page indicator is set the printer automatically repositions the print head at the ending character of the first word in the error list. When the operator keys in the correct spelling, the printer is caused to remove the misspelled word from the page and type the correct spelling. The corresponding word in the error memory is also corrected. As each misspelled word in the error memory is corrected, the remainder of the memory is scanned and repetitions of the same spelling error are automatically corrected.

Abstract: The aesthetic characteristics of adjacent characters are used to enhance the quality of output in a proportional spacing printer and to provide right margin justification for composing. Spacing between characters is determined on the basis of the character being printed and the preceding character already printed on the page. An intercharacter displacement memory contains a list of ideal spacing for all combinations of characters to be printed. As each character is typed, it and the previously stored preceding character address the intercharacter displacement memory. The output of the intercharacter displacement memory is the ideal value of escapement for this combination of characters and font style. The printer positions the print head prior to printing the next character, rather than positioning the print head after the previous character is printed. Line ending decisions for composing are eliminated during initial and final typing of a document by adding to the intercharacter displacement memory recommendations for altering the ideal spacing between characters, where aesthetically possible, to eliminate the need for line ending hyphenation. During initial keying, escapements for adjacent pairs of characters are totaled in a memory for ideal, shortest (tight), and longest (loose) recommended escapements. The line is automatically terminated within the justification range by a carrier return function based on the escapement totals and the selected right margin. Final playout of the page from memory alters the intercharacter escapements from the ideal values to either longer or shorter escapements depending on whether the line is to be lengthened or shortened.

Abstract: A forms format program is read from pre-printed markings on a typing form to assist the operator in moving accurately and quickly to different typing fields. Depression of the tabulation key can select tabulation to a form selected tab stop, vertical feed and automatic line return. A field return key generates new lines within a column defined by form selected tab stops. Marks on a typing form can both initiate and terminate repeat forward or reverse indexing to provide a search for a new vertically displaced typing field. Typing status functions such as single or double line spacing are automatically selected by markings on the form.

Abstract: The present invention concerns methods and apparatus for editing information and involves procedures for editing of both audio and typed (digital) information. The system incorporates a dictation machine capable of storing sentences and paragraphs in assigned areas on a record medium together with address information indicative of the preferred sequence of playback of such information. The system further includes a transcribing unit and a typing station having facilities for recording and playing back digital signals representative of typed copy and further having provision for storing address information on magnetic card media indicative of locations of sentences on the typed copy which is in the preferred sequence as actually typed. Several sequences may be followed in achieving a final version of the typed copy.

Abstract: The invention concerns a dictating system capable of the random recording and arrangement of audio segments, means for digitally recording the positions of such segments after the completion of such arrangement either upon an additional medium or upon the recording medium in a separate track or tracks reserved for such purposes or in locations corresponding to each audio segment giving the location of the next audio segment as defined by the arrangement, or for transmitting such information over a wire or wireless channel; and also concerns a transcription device for use with the above system, either capable of reading such digital information into memory before the beginning of the transcription process or capable of reading information giving the location of the next audio segment as defined by the arrangement during the transcription process, and having means for accessing audio segments on the medium recorded by the above system in the order of the arrangement.
