ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The spoken word is converted directly into the written word by the use of an automatic speech recognition device or "translator", which translates the spoken word into corresponding coded signals, and a word processing system. To compensate for the limited vocabulary and other shortcomings of the translator device, special control means are provided for allowing the dictator to verbally spell out each word or expression which the translator is incapable of translating. In this mode of operation, the machine automatically assembles the letters together to form words, and assembles the words so formed with other words to form sentences. The spoken words and letters appear on the video display screen of the word processor. The dictator views the text, makes any necessary corrections, and either stores the text codes in an electrical storage device for later transmission to a printer, or directly transmits the text codes to a printer which prints the text as relatively high speed. The keyboard of the word processor also can be used to input special characters or words, if desired. Also described is the improvement whereby, if the translator is too slow to keep up with the dictator, dictation is recorded first in a recorder from which it is taken by the translator at a rate at which the translator is capable of landling it. This makes use of the pauses which normally occur m dictation to give the translator time in which to operate. In an alternative system, dictation from a remote location to a central transcribing station is facilitated by locating a video monitor and a dictating device at the dictator's location, and by providing a communication link, such as by telephone lines or wireless, from the video monitor and the dictation device to the transcription station. The transcriber transcribes the dictation and transmits it to the video monitor at the dictator's station, where the dictator can dictate corrections into his dictation machine, or can enter the corrections directly by means of the word processing system. When the corrections have been made, the document is typed in final form. Thus, the preparation and transmittal of a written draft have been avoided, and early correction of the text shortly after dictation has been facilitated.
