Abstract: A system and approach for macro-assisted document coding (MADC). It may partially automate a document coding process by using a combination of hardware and software to increase document coding efficiency, speed and precision, with a use of macros. There may be viewer interface macros and coding interface macros. The viewer interface macros may incorporate page turning macros and single purpose macros such as, for example, document sizing or orientation for review. The coding interface macros may incorporate coding macros, recoding macros for coding that was correct but changed, and error correcting macros for coding that was incorrect. Keyboards with a few keys may be strategically located for fast coding, page turning, review, and accessing the next document for review and coding. Coding of a document may indicate its responsiveness, level of confidentiality and privilege. Coding may be used particularly for legal documents (MALDC), medical documents (MAMDC), and other kinds of documents.
