Sounding Board is an exciting, revolutionary product that adds
the power of sound and voice to your PC. Whether you're working
within DOS, Windows or a networking environment, you can record
and play any sound you want. All you have to do is pick up the
telephone handset provided -- or connect stereo equipment
directly to Sounding Board's audio in and out jacks -- bring up
the handy on-screen menu, and start making noise!
But there's much more to Sounding Board than "record" and "play."
When used within a LAN environment, it allows you to add voice to
your PC communications. So you can talk it over. Sound off. Speak
your mind. Which is much faster than typing. Which saves you time
and money.
Winner of PC Magazine's 1990 Technical Excellence award, the
Artisoft Sounding Board adapter comes with everything you need to
speak and be heard. A telephone-style handset provides stunning
clarity and sound pickup. SoundPUP software, included for both
DOS and Windows, records, stores and replays in a snap. And audio
in-and-out jacks connect to external sound components like CD
players, tape recorders and amplifiers.
Sounding Board digitizes sound, preserving it in nearly its
original fidelity. And with SoundPUP, you can use your Sounding
Board right out of the box to dictate documents or record
messages, save them to disk files and then share them with other
Sounding Board users -- all in your own voice!
Better yet, SoundPUP lets you add sound capabilities to any
software that supports OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) for
Windows or that can issue command lines to DOS. So you can use
Sounding Board to provide narration in multimedia presentations,
annotate documents with voice messages, provide high-quality
digital dictation over a LAN and add voice functions to existing
software. And because it works in the background, it won't tie up
your computer.
The Artisoft Sounding Board adapter is available for standard bus
(ISA) and Micro Channel compatibles.
