- Greetings. This message is to announce the formation of the Internet
- AUDIOTEX mailing list.
-
- The AUDIOTEX list is an Internet discussion forum for topic areas
- relating to the field of "audiotex" systems. "Audiotex" is a general
- term covering the broad area of telephone-based information systems of
- a wide variety of types. The distinguishing characteristic of an
- audiotex system is usually the use of either recorded or synthesized
- voice to output information to the user, with either telephone
- touch-tone keys or in some cases voice recognition systems being used
- for input. Voicemail systems, information collection/retrieval
- systems, and entertainment services are all examples of audiotex
- applications.
-
- All aspects of audiotex systems, including currently deployed systems,
- research and development issues, user interface design, applications
- concepts, security considerations, etc. are valid topics for
- discussion in this mailing list.
-
- At the current time, the AUDIOTEX mailing list is a direct
- distribution, non-moderated list with very little traffic. If traffic
- becomes considerable the list will probably be converted to a digest
- format.
-
- Subscriptions to the AUDIOTEX mailing list are controlled by an
- automated "listserv" system. To get more information about the
- AUDIOTEX list, please send a message to:
-
- audiotex-request@cv.vortex.com
-
- with the line:
-
- information audiotex
-
- in the BODY of the message (the "Subject" field of the message is
- ignored). To subscribe, please send a message to the same address
- above but with the line:
-
- subscribe audiotex <your full name>
-
- where <your full name> is replaced by your actual name, for example:
-
- subscribe audiotex Larry Fine
-
- Thanks much!
-
