Abstract
Indexing apparatus for use with dictating and transcribing systems, such as a tape recorder or the like, which provides a cumulative indication of the amount of tape awaiting an operation such as transcription of dictated material. The indexing apparatus is coupled to an apparatus such as a dictating and transcribing apparatus and indicates the quantity of tape upon which dictation has been made. As a transcriptionist transcribes dictation from the tape, the indexing apparatus reflects the quantity of tape transcribed so that at all times the indexing apparatus indicates the amount of tape ready to be transcribed to provide an indication of the load level of material waiting to be transcribed. Thus, as transcription is accomplished without further dictation the indicating apparatus will revert to a zero indication.
