A keyboard input system (15) uses key combinations, or chords, in a number of ways to input information faster. Keyboards (11) range from augmented standards to one with ten keys, and chords range from ones very easy for typists to ones of all row key combinations by each hand. Chords of one stroke type the most frequent words along with regular typing or other chording of less frequent words. Other chording handles words as stems, or roots, and inflections which change words to different grammatical forms. Stem coding minimizes inputs for stems and data accompanying stems reduces inputs for inflections. A software program (17) to ''Terminate but Stay Resident'' with MS DOS on IBM Personal Computers and compatibles implements the preferred embodiment of the system for English. |
