The problems involved in using a smaller alphabet than that naturally called for are investigated, with attention focussed on the use of 12 digit keyboards such as found on Touch-Tone (trademark reg.) telephones.The feasibility of avoiding the use of codebooks or user encodings is examined for some medical information systems, and a technique to minimize redundant inputs is described.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
