Description
A RARE Bell Telephone Lab 1963 Computer Speech Record
7" record, 33 rpm. Basically, a pioneering example of early research into the basic nature of speech and hearing just months before sights and sounds were to cause mass hysteria in humans reacting to the British Invasion of music. A historic piece.
I'd grade the vinyl very high as it appears as never been played, no spindle marks noticed and labels as pressly pressed from 1963. The cardboard sleeve has served it purpose well, protecting the precious and in this case, RARE, contents. The sleeve has wear in the usual [places of the edges and corners but the graphics & color are still vibrant, maybe a little tonal aging of the white back side of cover.
Up for auction is a rare vintage spoken word recording from Bell Telephone Lab in 1963!
This is "He Saw The Cat" and other Spoken Word recordings from Bell Telephone Lab.
This record demonstrates Bell Laboratories emerging speech simulation program.
Computer speech:
The examples of synthesized speech on this recording illustrate certain fundamentals characteristics of both artificial and human speech. Synthesized speech is a product of Bell Telephone Laboratories research into the basic nature of speech and hearing.
