4. The steno translator system of claim 1 or 2 or 3 wherein the processor means further comprises: an exception dictionary memory for storing a list of dictionary entries, each dictionary entry comprising a subsequence of at least one lexical stroke symbol and an associated language part defining a translation of the subsequence for each dictionary entry; and searching means for comparing selected subsequences of lexical stroke symbols from the stroke symbol means, according to a predefined searching methodology, first against dictionary entries to identify a match, said match defined as a subsequence translation, and if no match is located in the exception dictionary memory next applying individual lexical stroke symbols to the scan chart memory to define a stroke symbol translation.

The steno translator system of claim 4 wherein the processor means further comprises: means for altering the exception dictionary comprising: means for generating a first control stroke symbol different from a lexical stroke symbol, the processor means being responsive to the first control stroke symbol to enable alteration access to the exception dictionary; means for entering a selected language part; means for generating a second control stroke symbol to define the end of the entered selected language part; means for entering a subsequence of at least one lexical stroke symbol defined to correspond to the entered language part; means for generating a predefined third control stroke symbol to define completion of the entering of lexical stroke symbols; and means for storing the entered language part and the corresponding entered lexical stroke symbols in the exception dictionary means in association with each other.
