Abstract

A speed typing method and apparatus having multiple letters (Fig. 1) associated with each key (52) of a keyboard (50). By utilizing multiple characters on each key (52), the number of keys (52) would be fewer than the number of letters in the alphabet using this system (100) (e.g., fewer than 26 letter keys for the English alphabet). Each key (52) on the keyboard (52) is associated with a numerical code. The system (100) uses the numerical code associated with a typed word to access a dictionary or table of words stored in memory (12) at a memory location corresponding to the input numerical code. The system may display all of the words available to the user in response to the input code. The user then selects one of the available words to be placed in the document. Alternatively the system (100) may enable display of one or more preferred words. The keys (52) of the keyboard (50) may be contoured so that the user senses the position of his hand in relation to the keys of the keyboard. The typing system (100) is also implemented by a finger-mounted input device having switches. The finger-mounted device may also be used in conjunction with one or more input selection panels. The panels have keys which are selectable by the user in conjunction with the switches.
