The StenowriterߞA System for the Lexical Processing of Stenotypy
E. J. Galli · IEEE Transactions on Electronic Computers · 1962
The system design and evaluation of an experimental system are presented. The ``Stenowriter'' utilizes a special-purpose translation computer, equipped with a large random-access memory, to provide real-time processing of spoken material into typewritten English. The input is provided by an operator using a special keyboard with which information may be stenographically encoded as rapidly as it is spoken. The stenographic code is automatically processed by the translation system into corresponding English with proper spelling and format. The output appears on an electric typewriter. Through multiplexing techniques, information for a large number of input-output units can be processed, each on a real-time basis, by one computer.
