An On-Line System for Hand-Printed Input.

Abstract

The document describes the capability of the graphic input/output computer systems, developed by System Development Corporation with support from contract NAS12-526, as of 15 June 1971. It is divided into three sections, which discuss (1) a new character-recognizer and dictionary-building program, (2) an initial flowchart-element-input program, and (3) a new system, The Assistant Mathematician (TAM), which uses ordinary mathematics to specify numeric computation. Although reported separately, all three parts of the system are necessary to achieve the overall goal of allowing a user to carry on a mathematical dialogue with the computer in the language and notation of his discipline or problem domain.
