Abstract
Apparatus for editing and processing a text printed on a record carrier, composed of a memory for storing representations of the next characters and of function information relating to the text, a control unit connected for controlling transfer of representations to and from the memory; and a text editing unit composed of a digitalization panel presenting a surface for receiving the record carrier and including a circuit connected to the control unit for producing signals representing the location of elemental regions on the surface, and an input pen for placing markings on the record carrier and for actuating the signal producing circuit to produce signals representing the location of each elemental region contacted by the pen. The control unit is arranged to receive the signals produced by the signal producing circuit, to convert those signals. into control signals, to associate such control signals, on the basis of the locations of the elemental regions represented by the signals produced by the signal producing circuit, with text character representations in the memory, and to use such control signals to control transfer of representations to and from the memory.
