Voice-Output Devices
This device produces a human speech like sound, but actually
is prerecorded vocalized sounds. Voice output is used in
the telephone information system, where the requested number
is reported using a voice output system.
For example, when a student enrolls courses using a
telephone registration system, he or she hears voice output
upon your request. Voice output is becoming common in
voice massaging systems.
Modem
Another form of the output device is a modem. A
modem is short for "MOdulator-DEModulator."
Modulation is the process of converting from digital
to analog. Demodulation is the process of converting
from analog to digital.
The modem enables digital microcomputers to send output
through analog telephone lines. Both voice and data can be
carried over through the modem. The modem is not only an
output device but also an input device that receives data
and voice through a communication channel.
