    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: The present invention concerns a number of features for a Sentence Oriented Dictation System (SODS) having provision for recording and reproducing audio information in segments of convenient size, such as sentences and paragraphs. The present case concerns the capability of splitting the sentences in a particular paragraph into two or more groups of sentences, each comprising an individual paragraph and/or combining sentences from several paragraphs to form a single paragraph. Further, the invention concerns the provision of special areas on a record medium for the storing of instructions for guidance of the typist in the form of special notations. Also, the present invention concerns a system of this nature with provision for recording individual segments of audio information, such as sentences, in assigned storage areas on a record medium, each having storage capacity up to a certain predetermined size, and the capability of extending or continuing the sentences beyond the predetermined size.

    Abstract: Text processing system in which the text is displayed in two modes. In the first mode, text characters codes from the keyboard (10) are stored in a text memory (25), the characters being generated from the character generator (28) and producing on the screen (32) an unformatted text display having less text lines than in a typical page. In the second mode, a page of characters stored in the page memory (26) is generated from the pseudo-generator (29) to produce on the screen (32) a formatted page of characters represented by an identical image.

    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: 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.
