In April 1983 ''[[Compute!]]'' published '''Scriptor''', a word processor written by staff writer Charles Brannon in [[BASIC]] and [[assembly language]], as a [[type-in program]] for the [[Atari 8-bit family]].<ref name="brannon198304" /> In January 1984 version 1.0 of his new word processor SpeedScript appeared in ''[[Compute!'s Gazette]]'' for the [[Commodore 64]] and [[Commodore VIC-20|VIC-20]].<ref name="brannon198401" /> 1.1 appeared in ''Compute!'s Second Book of Commodore 64'',<ref>SpeedScript's Lineage; Pg 11 June 1986 Compute! https://archive.org/details/1986-06-compute-magazine/page/n11/mode/2up</ref> 2.0 on ''Gazette Disk'' in May 1984,<ref>The SpeedScript Family; Pg 71 May 1987 Compute!'s Gazette https://archive.org/details/computes.gazette/Compute_Gazette_Issue_47_1987_May/page/n71/mode/2up</ref><ref>Gazette Disk Premiere ad Pg 33 April 1984 Compute!'s Gazette https://archive.org/details/1984-04-computegazette/page/n33/mode/2up</ref> and 3.0 in ''Compute!'' in March and April 1985.<ref name="Brannon198503" /><ref name="Brannon198504" /> Corrections that updated 3.0 to 3.1 appeared in May 1985,<ref name="capute198505" /> and the full version appeared in a book published by Compute!, ''SpeedScript: The Word Processor for the Commodore 64 and VIC-20''.<ref name="Brannon1985commodore" /> A 3.2 update appeared in the December 1985 ''Compute!''<ref name="Brannon198512" /> and January 1986 ''Compute! Disk''<ref name="mitchener198606" /> and again later in the May 1987 ''Compute!'s Gazette'' issue with three additional utilities.<ref name="Brannon198705" />
Also of note was the Reader's Feedback column in the January 1986 Compute! which had POKEs to eliminate the DISK or TAPE? question<ref>https://archive.org/details/1986-01-compute-magazine/page/n11/mode/2up</ref>. There was, however, a typo in the listing and that was corrected in the March 1986 CAPUTE! column<ref>https://archive.org/details/1986-03-compute-magazine/page/n127/mode/2up</ref>.
