Brooks, C. P. and Newell, Alan F. (1985): Computer Transcription of Handwritten Shorthand as an Aid for the Deaf -- A Feasibility Study. In International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 23 (1) pp. 45-60

“An automatic speech transcription aid for the deaf provides a written version of speech for a deaf person to read. Such a system need not provide a perfect rendition of the speech, all that is necessary is for the output to be readable and to be provided at or close to verbatim speeds. One possible system to achieve this would be to translate handwritten shorthand into readable orthography. This paper describes a feasibility study in which such a transcription system was implemented on a microcomputer to ascertain the practical problems involved.”

Leedham, C. G., Downton, A. C., Brooks, C. P. and Newell, Allen (1984): On-Line Acquisition of Pitman's Handwritten Shorthand as a Means of Rapid Data Entry. In: Shackel, Brian (ed.) INTERACT 84 - 1st IFIP International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction September 4-7, 1984, London, UK. pp. 145-150.

“In this paper we discuss the use of Pitmans shorthand as a means of converting dictation speed speech (up to 120 wpm) directly into readable text for computer entry or direct output. The Pitman shorthand notation is compared to a machinography or machine compatible script and the recognition problems associated with handwritten shorthand are discussed. The requirements of a writing tablet and instrumented pen for on-line acquisition of Pitman shorthand are described and the preprocessing techniques which have been usefully applied to the raw data are outlined.”

Downton, A. C. and Brooks, C. P. (1984): Automated Machine Shorthand Transcription in Commercial Applications. In: Shackel, Brian (ed.) INTERACT 84 - 1st IFIP International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction September 4-7, 1984, London, UK. pp. 151-156.

“This paper describes the development and evaluation of a Palantype machine shorthand transcription system for court reporting and commercial applications. The system is based upon a transcription computer which provides special purpose software for transcription from Palantype to English, for efficient editing of transcripts, and for maintaining and optimising the Palantype to English dictionary. The design of the user interface to the system and the dictionary structure are described in detail, to illustrate how these aspects influence the overall efficiency and commercial viability of the system.”

“ Computer programs emerge as the outcome of complex human processes of cognition, communication and negotiation, which serve to establish the meaningful embedding of the computer system in its intended use context. ”
