     {with ArtiSound(RM) Recorder Software for Windows(TM)
     {for IBM(R) PC, PS/2(R) and Compatible Computers

     Word of mouth dominated business long before computers. It's the
     natural way people communicate. The spoken word - whether howling,
     pleading, demanding or respectfully requesting - carries vast power
     that written words alone cannot. 

     For serious business applications, the economical Sounding Board
     provides remarkable voice clarity through a phone-style handset, a
     familiar tool to make and listen to recordings. External connectors
     let you connect microphones and speakers. The Sounding Board is for
     the workplace, not the game room. 

     You install the Sounding Board hardware and ArtiSound Recorder
     application as a Windows sound accessory. Use them to attach voice
     comments to documents in progress, create presentations and route them
     along network e-mail. On a LANtastic(R) network, e-mail becomes voice
     mail, allowing users to chat in real time or send voice messages. RCA-
     type jacks give you a standard audio connection for music and sound
     effects through CD players, tape recorders and amplifiers for record
     or playback. Standard telephone handset connection provides broad
     flexibility for directly attaching a wide range of telephone
     accessories. 

     In Windows 3.1, the Sounding Board uses the Windows' Object Linking
     and Embedding (OLE) protocol, so you are a click away from adding the
     sound dimension to a spreadsheet, word processing document, e-mail
     message or any Windows application supporting OLE. 

     Incorporated into the Sounding Board software are some of the tools
     from the Artisoft Voice Programmer's Interface(TM) with which you can
     create voice functions in existing applications. The complete VPI(TM)
     (available separately) works with Sounding Board, enabling developers
     to create new dimensions of voice and sound in software. 

     Under its original name of LANtastic Voice Adapter, the Sounding Board
     system won the PC Magazine 1990 Technical Excellence Award(R). The
     Sounding Board kit gives business users an award-winning voice in
     Windows and LAN environments - for a very attractive price.
