An On-Line System for Hand-Printed Input.

摘要

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 15June 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.
