19.029 Does anyone know what a "Supertalker" card is used for?

         According to the MCI Supertalker manual, the card plugs into a Slot and
lets you digitize human speech and store it on diskettes. Supertalker can
replay the stored digitized speech via the speaker supplied with the system.

     Supertalker software includes the Vocal Preparation System (VPS) for
developing phrase diskettes. A phrase diskette can have numerous tables
containing words, phrases, and complete sentences.

     Quality of recorded data is dependent on the selected digitizing rate
which can range from 512 bytes/sec (lowest) up to 4096 bytes/sec (best).
Playback volume has four software selectable levels.

     It's a pretty nifty card. Some time back we had an Apple II meeting where
we played around with it and a few other audio cards but mostly with the
Supertalker
