WATSON.LBR contains a software-only simulation of Watson (tm) from Natural
MicroSystems.
The full Watson includes an advanced digital signal processing circuit board
which digitizes and compresses speech from the telephone and records it on
your computer's disk. The Watson system also includes a high-speed
modem on the same add-in circuit board.
Watson for the IBM PC, XT, AT, and all IBM-compatibles provides:
* Voice Mail (allowing you to record personal voice messages for callers)
* Telephone Management (with Phone Book, speed dialing, auto redialing, etc.)
* Speech Editing Dictation (insert speech or cut and paste speech segments)
* Calendar (including alarms that can call you at another phone number)
* Remote Access (control Watson from any push-button phone)
* Modem (call computer data bases, transfer data during phone conversations)
Although this simulation does not require the Watson circuit board, it
works very similarly to the full Watson. We believe the simulation to be a
powerful and useful program in its own right. Of course, we also hope that
once you have seen what Watson can do even without speech processing you
will want to try a demonstration of the complete Watson system at your
computer dealer or by calling our toll-free number.
The Watson simulation requires a PC or compatible with a minimum of 192K
and DOS 2.0 or greater. It allows you to set up a Phone Book data base of
names, numbers, addresses and other notes. You can even dial and redial
numbers if you have a Hayes (tm) compatible modem. You can set up Calendar
appointments or alarms and can even have alarms call you at another number.
Without the Watson circuit board, this simulation cannot record or play speech.
But to give you a feel for how speech recording and editing works, it allows
you to record music from the keyboard. Musical tones simulating recorded
speech play through your PC's speaker.
You can listen to a live Watson demonstration by dialing 1-800-6-WATSON.
In Massachusetts, dial (617) 651-2186. In addition, you can try Watson's
speech processing functions at better computer dealers everywhere.
