Abstract
A memory typewriter having an editable text stored in the memory together with a full-page correction buffer and individual counters associated with each differentiable word in the text. The combination permits determination and display of the most frequently used words in an edited text in order of descending frequency. Preferably, the combination includes a thesaurus list so that the typist can be altered if a frequently-used word in the display is also present in the thesaurus list. If so, the typist can then call for display of related synonyms by pressing or appropriate key controls and decide which of the synonyms, if any, to enter as replacement for the overused word.
