Venture Capital Firm Eases Its Growing Pains and Meets Its Communication Needs with a Voice-Data System
Article Abstract:
The venture capital firm, First Interstate Capital (Los Angeles, California), installed a Telenova 1 integrated voice-data communications system with capabilities allowing the Los Angeles and Portland, Oregon, offices to share centrally located data files. Telenova 1 was selected over a local area network (LAN) because it was compatible with the company's existing word processing equipment, IBM PC-XTs, dumb terminals and printer, requires only two-pair telephone wire for wire for voice and data communications, and installation costs were twenty percent lower than LAN installation costs. Since the system was installed in November 1983, the company controller says the shared printer application is the best feature to date.

Voice Input: It's Closer than You Think
Article Abstract:
To make long range plans without the risk of being a pioneer, Jon Pearkins suggests talking to the heads of product research and development of the vendors of relevant products. Plans should be made that can incorporate projected technologies after they have been proven. At present, voice input, that recognizes a limited vocabulary spoken by one person, is used primarily for manufacturing. With technological advances (and lower memory costs), we can expect workstations where voice input will be reproduced into screen text for editing by voice commands - a boon for non-typing managers and professionals. The steps in converting voice input are shown.
