ABSTRACT:
A speech transcription apparatus comprising a first transducer for converting speech from a first individual to an electrical signal, a memory device for storing the electrical signal, and a second transducer for reproducing the speech in response to the stored electrical signal. The memory device is arranged for simultaneous recording and playback, so that a second individual can transcribe stored speech substantially simultaneously with storage of further speech. A variable delay period between the storing of the speech and its reproduction is provided. The delay period may be controlled by the second individual. The device enables substantially real-time transcription of spoken speech. Periods of silence in the first individual speech are deleted, without intrference with the reproduction function. The memory may be configured as a magnetic tape unit or as a random access memory unit.
