Abstract
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.
