This system was equipped with a hybrid keyboard (comprised of a typewriter style keyboard and a pendant type "50 Sounds" tablet) and a 14-inch CRT display capable of displaying 41 characters x 24 lines. It was also equipped with a new personal name dictionary (approx. 2,000 words) and a place name dictionary (approx. 4,000 words) to enable one-touch conversion of personal and place names. Another feature was a short-cut conversion function whereby words which have been entered once are automatically stored in memory, so the conversion can be subsequently retrieved with just the first hiragana letter of the word. This was a true business word processor equipped with drawing, graphing, arithmetic and many other features.
