ABSTRACT:
A hardware add-on including an interface to external I/O, a voice processor, and a micro-controller along with a terminate and stay resident program allow a digital dictation and voice mail system to run transparently on a PC operating under DOS. A hardware DTMF transceiver and software template files which equate strings representing DTMF tone signals to DOS commands permits dictation through a touch-tone phone. Voice sampling and playback speed are controlled with a reference signal and a feedback loop to an oscillator controlling the sampling rate of the voice processor. Dictation, template, and message files are DOS formatted.
