Abstract
A kit for use with a transcription system which includes a plurality of signal receivers for positioning adjacent a writing surface and for receiving one or more position signals transmitted from a stylus when the stylus is positioned adjacent the writing surface, the signal receivers producing timing signals in response to receiving position signals from the stylus, the kit comprising: a template coupleable to the writing surface, the template including one or more control sections; and a computer readable medium including logic for detecting when the stylus contacts a particular control section based on receipt by the signal receivers of one or more position signals transmitted from the stylus and logic for causing a function to be performed by the transcription system in response to detecting that the stylus has contacted the particular control section.
