Abstract: A keyboard for use with a stenographic transcription and translating assembly possessing word processing capabilities having horizontal and vertical groupings of keys indicating the generation of signals characterizing consonant and vowel letters or non-phonetic language construction command instructions such as transcribing translation or word processing instructions.

Abstract: A steno translator system for translating stenographic keystrokes to language format according to a predefined keystroking methodology includes a steno writer to generate a sequence of stroke symbols each having associated therewith language parts consisting of suffixes, prefixes, word parts, punctuation and language symbols. A processor is coupled for receiving the stroke symbols and includes memory for storing a list of stroke entries, each represented by at least one stroke symbol, and an associated language part defining the translation for that stroke entry. The stroke entries are arranged in the memory in accordance with the predefined stroke entry order. The processor also includes a translator for segmenting the sequence of stroke symbols into a plurality of consecutive subsequences where each of the subsequences includes at least one stroke symbol and has a corresponding matching stroke entry in the memory.

Abstract: A computerized system for the rapid rendering of written or spoken material into printed text. A stenographic record of the material is produced by a reporter according to a stenographic system including "automatics" to enable batch translation of the stenographic data. The record thereby produced is translated rapidly and with a high degree of accuracy by a computer having a dictionary of the system stored in its memory. The translation is displayed upon the screen of an editing device for rapid editing by a word processing operator. The edited translation is applied to a transmitting modem. The modem encodes the edited translation for transmission to a remote computerized typesetter. The typesetter is directly programmed with the edited translation to produce a printed text of the material.
