Abstract: A method and apparatus for editing a document having textual material thereon. A unique font of editing symbols is provided which are handwritable yet recognizable by a character recognition system. Each of the symbols is representative of an editing instruction. An appropriate symbol is inserted adjacent each portion of the textual material which is in error. The document is then inserted into a character recognition system without requiring reproduction of the document with the alterations incorporated.
