Providing for electronic communications devices having QWERTY type keyboards a software based system which automatically translates alphabetical characters into numeric characters. Directly entered alphabetical characters are automatically converted to corresponding numeric characters. As an alternative to manually entered characters, in communications devices having a voice recognition feature, spoken signals are similarly converted. Automatic conversion proceeds only when the device is in a telephone mode of operation. Where fewer than ten characters are entered, the system may automatically add an area code to the number being dialed. If more than seven but fewer than ten characters are entered, some characters are eliminated.
