Abstract

A method for writing text employing at least one hand of a user and manipulating a keyboard having a pair of keypads which are finger depressed and a press pad which is depressed by the palm region of the hand. The first and/or second keypads are pressed simultaneously with the press pad being depressed by the palm region of the hand to generate a signal representative of a recognizable language component. Combinations of keypad and press pad signals may be compiled into a spelling table for forming words in different languages.

Claims

1. A method for writing text employing at least one hand of a user and manipulating a keyboard having at least a first keypad, and a press pad,

comprising the steps of:

a. depressing the press pad with the palm region of the one hand of the user;

b. depressing the at least first keypad with one finger of the one hand of the user simultaneously with said depressing of said press pad by the palm region of the one hand of the user to generate a signal; and

c. transforming said signal into one recognizable language components.

2. The method of claim 1 in which said press pad is linked to a second keypad and said step of depressing said press pad by the palm region of the one hand of the user also depresses said second keypad.

3. The method of claim 1 in which said step of transforming said signal results in one recognizable language component representing a consonant.

4. The method of claim 1 in which said step of transforming said signal results in recognizable language component representing one language word ending consonant.

5. The method of claim 1 in which said step of transforming said first and second signals results in one recognizable language component representing a vowel.

6. The method of claim 1 in which said step of transforming said first and second signals results in one recognizable language component representing a diphthong.

7. The method of claim 1 in which said step of transforming said first and second signals results in one recognizable language component representing a word suffix.

8. The method of claim 1 in which said step of transforming said first and second signals results in one recognizable language component representing a word prefix.

9. The method of claim 1 in which said step of transforming said first and second signals results in one recognizable language component representing a word.

10. The method of claim 1 in which said step of transforming said first and second signals results in one recognizable language component representing a punctuation mark.

11. The method of claim 1 in which the transcription keyboard further includes a third keypad and which further comprises the steps of depressing the third keypad to generate a third signal, and transforming said third signal into another recognizable language component.

12. A method for writing text employing one and another hands of the a user and manipulating a keyboard having at least a first press pad and a second press pad,

comprising the steps of:

a. depressing the first press pad with the palm region of one hand of the user;

b. depressing the first press pad with the palm region of the another hand of the user to generate a signal; and

c. transforming said signal into one recognizable language component.

13. The method of claim 12 in which said first press pad is linked to a first keypad and said step of depressing said first press pad by the palm region of the one hand of the user also depresses said first keypad.

14. The method of claim 13 in which said second press pad is linked to a second keypad and said step of depressing said second press pad by the palm region of the another hand of the user also depresses said second keypad.

15. The method of claim 12 in which said step of transforming said signal results in one recognizable language component representing a consonant.

16. The method of claim 12 in which said step of transforming said signal results in recognizable language component representing one language word ending consonant.

17. The method of claim 12 in which said step of transforming said first and second signals results in one recognizable language component representing a vowel.

18. The method of claim 12 in which said step of transforming said first and second signals results in one recognizable language component representing a diphthong.

19. The method of claim 12 in which said step of transforming said first and second signals results in one recognizable language component representing a word suffix.

20. The method of claim 12 in which said step of transforming said first and second signals results in one recognizable language component representing a word prefix.

21. The method of claim 12 in which said step of transforming said first and second signals results in one recognizable language component representing a word.

22. The method of claim 12 in which said step of transforming said first and second signals results in one recognizable language component representing a punctuation mark.

23. The method of claim 12 in which the transcription keyboard further includes a third keypad and which further comprises the steps of depressing the third keypad to generate a third signal, and transforming said third signal into another recognizable language component.
