ABSTRACT:
A manual key input apparatus, which comprises a memory for successively storing the characters of each of a plurality of words includes in one record which is supplied from a key input device and marked off by a record-positioning code from the succeeding record data, and wherein a first counter counts a total number of characters of words included in one record supplied to the memory from the key input device; a counted number of characters of words is stored in a character number memory; comparison is made in a comparator between a number of characters of words constituting one record which has already been stored in the character number memory and a number of characters of words included in the succeeding record which has been counted by the first counter; where said comparison determines a number of characters of words constituting the succeeding record to be larger than a counted number of characters of words already stored in the character number memory, then the number of the characters of the words included the succeeding record is stored in said character number memory to replace the previously stored character number; counting is repeated, each time the character number memory is supplied with a number of characters of words included in one record from the key input device; a second counter detects the remaining storing capacity of the character number memory whose capacity varies with character numbers supplied in succession, from every last counted character number; comparison is made in a second comparator between a character number already stored in the character number memory and a character number counted by the second counter; where said comparison determines a number of characters counted by the second counter to be smaller than a number of characters already stored in the character number memory, then supply of a new record from the key input device to the character number memory is suspended.
