-
- Greetings. The recent announcement of a "Touchtone" mailing list
- suggests that I should remind the readership of the already
- established Internet AUDIOTEX mailing list.
-
- AUDIOTEX has been running since summer and already has a sizeable
- readership representing an impressive cross-section of audiotex
- manufacturers, developers, and users (quite low volume, but that's a
- function of what people care to send in). Below is an excerpt from
- the AUDIOTEX information file:
-
- >>> What is the AUDIOTEX mailing list? <<<
-
- The AUDIOTEX mailing 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.
-
- For more information regarding the AUDIOTEX mailing list, including
- subscription instructions, ftp and archive information, etc., please
- send a message with a BODY consisting of the line:
-
- information audiotex
-
- to:
-
- audiotex-request@cv.vortex.com.
-
- Please be sure to include the "-request" on the address! The subject
- field of the message is ignored, and the information line should be
- the first line in the body of the message. Hope to see you on
- AUDIOTEX.
