Abstract

A method and apparatus for entering operator supplied information into a telephone operator assistance system. An operator interfaces with the system via an operator position having a terminal that includes a keyboard and a video display monitor. The operator operates a macro key, which is equivalent to operating a predefined string of keystrokes. The operator then keys data specific to a particular call, which data is interpolated into a predefined position within the string.
