SPEAK AND HEAR
Messages In Your Voice

Aristotle has several unique Adaptive Applications:
Audio Input Recording reduces keyboard text input.
A Quick Search Engine for fast retrieval and play back.
Link your voice and sound to your web site and pages.
Ari-Mail turns email into Your -Voice- Mail.
Audio-Text requires No text spell check or format.
Audio-Text can be electronically sent anywhere to anyone.

As you Think, and Speak, Aristotle will Record and Title. Aristotle becomes the one place on your system where you can quickly record, store and retrieve, any information pertaining to your interests and specifications. This includes, but is not limited to, personal, professional, business, office, home, family, records and inventories, education and reference texts, tutorials and language acquisition training, etc. As well as recording appointment calendars, action items, things to do, things done, and dictation, etc. Each will find their own space in Aristotle. You can both import and export your messages via the Internet. Even sending your spoken messages across the world as Ari-Mail [Email].

Aristotle lets you cut, copy and paste audio, like words in a word processor. Aristotle's manual Transcriber lets you type text directly in your computer. Aristotle also provides access to online CyberAudioLibrary resources.

Here is how Aristotle works. Have an idea, read a book or article, have a conversation with someone you want to record, or prepare a summary. There thousand pieces of information which you want to store, but can't because of the time it takes to type text and make files. With Aristotle you simply speak the information. Also you can directly download from most recording devices, tapes, micro-cassette recorders, or CD player. A telephone audio interface is currently in development.

Let's say that you read an article about an offering for company XYZ. You can read it all, or summarize, sections relevant to your interest. Then title the record "Company XYZ". At any time later, simply type "XYZ" [or any of the words in the title]. The recorded file will play back immediately just as you recorded with your own voice.

Think of Aristotle as a desktop tape recorder with virtually endless storage space in which you can index all your voice messages and notes. Where you can instantly recall any message without rewinding the tape or running the files. All this information will be available immediately with Aristotle's unique and innovative Search Engine. Aristotle combines the practicality of a recorder/ player with the power of a data base.

Aristotle is your desktop tape recorder made a 1000 times more useful and powerful. A 1.6 [gb] hard disk can store up to 700 hours of recordings and titles, equivalent to 1400 micro-cassette recordings of audio text. This equates to 48,000 messages of 1 minute each, or the content of 21 books of 75,000 words each.

Aristotle can run in both Foreground and Background:

Download your micro-cassette recordings into Aristotle.

Record and save Dictation prior to word processing.

Record and save Appointment and Event Calander.

Record and save Technical Help Files for background recall.

Transcribe Audio Computer Manuals for background recall.

Transcribe Audio RFB&D Books for background recall.

Transcribe Audio Reference Books for background recall.

Transcribe Audio Books-On-Tape for background recall.

Transcribe Audio Text Books for background recall.

Transcribe Audio Language Training and Tutorial Tapes.

Aristotle can provide Active Feedback for self-monitoring.

Messages become separate audio-files for fast retrieval.

• Aristotle is delivered on a CD-Rom with full spoken and printed documentation. You need a PC computer with CD-Rom Drive. A Pentium 75 [or higher] processor , running MSWindows 95. A compatible sound card and microphone is required. A microphone [which works best with Aristotle] can be purchased and supplied on request.

  This is only the "beginning platform" of what Aristotle can do for you. Check the Aristotle web site at http://cal.ari-net.com/ You will see why they want you to try Aristotle for free.

• The CyberAudioLibrary is a system, and a tool, which enables Aristotle users to link up to the Internet as well as to other Aristotle users. They can exchange voice messages and each message automatically becomes a record of the Aristotle Data Base. Each user assigns to him/herself an ‘ari-mail’ (Aristotle Mail) address. It is a method whereby Aristotle users can store permanently audio data at the CyberAudioLibrary. Users (not only those who have Aristotle) can access their data stored in their CyberAudioLibrary account folders. You can store your messages in any combination of folders and sub-folders.

• The CyberAudioLibrary provides a method for linking audio messages to your web pages and sites. This means that the you as a web site publisher can easily enrich your web site with audio & sound messages.The state -of- the art audio compression and online storage allows you to add audio without requiring addition storage and space.

  The CyberAudioLibrary resides in a network of servers installed at the premises of Computer Friends, Inc. in Portland, Oregon. It uses our dedicated , full T-1 line connection to the Internet. There are two (2) categories of CyberAudioLibrary users:

  Category One:
  

• Users can Select and Listen to their messages only. For this category of users, software is available free of charge.

  Category Two:
  

• Users can have the same facilities as in category one, plus they can publish messages on the CyberAudioLibrary.
  
• They can participate in discussions and create their own Audio Discussion Groups.
  
• They can communicate among themselves using Aristotle mail with total protection from intrusion or interception.
  
• Users will be assigned one private folder where they can store information which is not accessible by anyone else. Unless access is granted to a specific user, for a specific record.
  
• This folder can also be used as a back-up location for important user’s records.
  
• Users, as web site publishers, can easily enrich their web site with audio & sound messages by adding a hyper-link into the CyberAudioLibrary.

  Aristotle Mail, users must have Aristotle to access all the functions of the CyberAudioLibrary.
  

• Ari-Mail [Aristotle Mail] tracks the flow of your email messages.
  
• If the receiving party has read the topic of the message, but did not listen to it as yet.

  COMMENTS: Aristotle is a program and an online system. Power requirements are a PC computer with CD-Rom Drive, a Pentium 75 [or higher] processor, running MS Windows 95, a compatible sound card and microphone. Aristotle is an Audio Dictation and Compression program. Not a Voice -To- Text Dictation program. Audio files require manual transcription [typing] to become text files.

  SUGGESTION: When testing ANY demonstration software in MS Windows ... it is suggested that:
  1. Use an "Independent" Uninstall program/utility.
  [Even when uninstall is included in the test application].
  2. Backup copies of win.ini, system.ini, progman.ini to be held off-disk and "on floppy".
  3. A zipped copy of the demonstration software should be held off-disk for backup.
