          Sounding  Board is an  exciting, revolutionary product  that adds
          the  power of sound and voice to  your PC. Whether you're working
          within  DOS, Windows or a  networking environment, you can record
          and play any  sound you want. All you  have to do is  pick up the
          telephone  handset  provided  --  or  connect   stereo  equipment
          directly to Sounding Board's  audio in  and out jacks -- bring up
          the handy on-screen menu, and start making noise!  

          But there's much more to Sounding Board than "record" and "play."
          When used within a LAN environment, it allows you to add voice to
          your PC communications. So you can talk it over. Sound off. Speak
          your mind. Which is much faster than typing. Which saves you time
          and money.  

          Winner  of PC  Magazine's 1990  Technical  Excellence award,  the
          Artisoft Sounding Board adapter comes with everything you need to
          speak and be  heard. A telephone-style handset  provides stunning
          clarity  and sound pickup.  SoundPUP software, included  for both
          DOS and Windows, records, stores and replays in a snap. And audio
          in-and-out jacks  connect to  external sound  components like  CD
          players, tape recorders and amplifiers. 

          Sounding  Board  digitizes  sound, preserving  it  in  nearly its
          original fidelity.  And with SoundPUP, you can  use your Sounding
          Board  right  out of  the  box  to  dictate documents  or  record
          messages, save them to disk files and then  share them with other
          Sounding Board users -- all in your own voice!  

          Better yet,  SoundPUP  lets you  add  sound capabilities  to  any
          software that  supports OLE  (Object Linking  and Embedding)  for
          Windows or that  can issue command lines  to DOS. So you  can use
          Sounding Board  to provide narration in multimedia presentations,
          annotate  documents  with  voice  messages, provide  high-quality
          digital dictation over a LAN  and add voice functions to existing
          software. And because it works in the background, it won't tie up
          your computer.  

          The Artisoft Sounding Board adapter is available for standard bus
          (ISA) and Micro Channel compatibles.
