COMPUTER RESEARCH AND INSTRUCTION IN HANDWRITING

我们建议开发一个用于图形研究的计算机系统 语言障碍儿童的生产和提供自动化 为有书写障碍的儿童提供书法指导。同相 I我们将开发和演示一个原型系统，用于记录为 时间的作用在书写过程中，笔在纸上的运动 或者画画。同样在第一阶段，我们将展示 用于提供草书书写指导的微型计算机系统。一个 使用该系统的孩子会在盖着压敏材料的纸上写字 图形输入板，它将笔的坐标传递给 电脑。孩子的笔迹将显示在监视器屏幕上， 并在屏幕上以图形显示的方式给出指令和 由计算机通过语音合成系统输出。如果可行的话 在第一阶段成立，我们将在第二阶段提出发展适销对路 用于研究、诊断和操作指导的软件产品。

We propose to develop a computer system for research on the graphic production of children with language disorders and for providing automated instruction in handwriting to children with writing disabilities. In Phase I we will develop and demonstrate a prototype system for recording as a function of time the motion of a pen over paper during the act of writing or drawing. Also in Phase I we will demonstrate the feasibility of microcomputer systems for providing instruction in cursive handwriting. A child using the system will write on paper covering a pressure-sensitive graphics tablet which will communicate the coordinates of the pen to the computer. The child's handwriting will be displayed on the monitor screen, and instruction will be given by means of graphic display on the screen and by computer output through a voice-synthesis system. If feasibility can be established in Phase I, we will propose in Phase II to develop marketable software products for research, diagnosis, and handrwiting instruction.
