Abstract
Abstract A method and apparatus for encoding and compressing a text word of ASCII code by substituting a binary number for said word and sending, storing or recording said binary number. The binary number is retrieved and replaced by the original text word. The binary representation of the word may be placed in a digital real time IRIG, preferably IRIG-B, frame wherein the text word is time stamped so as to record the actual time when the text word was placed in the time frame. The text word may be initially generated by a typist, or by a voice to text machine vocabularies of words to be encoded by replacement with the binary number are formed, and the encoding or encrypting vocabulary may be different from the decoding or decrypting vocabulary. The differences may include foreign languages or combinations of languages. Additional encryption may be obtained by forming a offset in the binary number for the first and the subsequent words used in each vocabulary. Events may be recorded in the IRIG uniform time period by bits indicating an event occurred and by other bit are used to record the actual time within the uniform time period. Several events can be recorded for later reporting by using several contiguous time frames.
