Computer for Wonder
NZPA-AP Boston The blind singersongwriter, Stevie Wonder, is urging business leaders to develop high-tech tools to help the handicapped compete with other workers. The entertainer demonstrated to an audience of Boston business executives how he could, with the help of a personal computer and a device called Dectalk, program a music synthesiser with various tempos and sounds. Dectalk, marketed by Digital Equipment Corporation, converts the computerised information into speech, which lets Wonder, arrange and edit the music without a recording studio engineer.
