This paper describes the application of a touch-tone/Synthesized Voice Output facility for the administrative inquiry of a student information data base. It contrasts the traditional audio response with the synthesized voice output and describes the principles of voice synthesizer operation and the software resources required. It also addresses concerns on the privacy of information, the need for message brevity, and the repeatability of messages. Flow charts are used throughout to depict the logic of the system and its user interface. Preliminary conclusions indicate: (1) a favorable user response due to the ease of access and the availability of "terminals," (2) a limited scope in application when considering that complex information is best communicated in printed form, and (3) a favorable cost to user ratio.
