Synapse TAP Workstations Talk to
your Sun, SGI, HP UNIX, PC, Mac or Mainframe
Synapse TAP Workstations offer an integrated cross-platform solution without
the compatibility
issues normally encountered in network, mainframe, emulations or Unix
environments. TAP systems support Sun Microsystems, Silicon Graphics, HP
UNIX, Macintosh, PC operating systems and mainframe environments.
The Synapse TAP Device is at the center of Synapse TAP Workstation. The TAP
Device is responsible for converting keystroke and mouse events originating
in the speech accessing computer and converting them into understandable
events before presenting them to the host computer. Because
the host computer is receiving only keystrokes and mouse events, no issues
of compatibility can be developed. The installation of a Synapse TAP
Workstation does not require that any software be installed on the host
computer. The compute intensive task of speech recognition occurs entirely
on the speech accessing side of the system and therefore no loss of
performance on the host computer can occur. One large
vocabulary (60,000 words) speech accessing computer may communicate with
many platforms. Additional TAP devices are required for each host computer.
With the addition of a Synapse TAP Switch it is possible to control a Sun
Workstation, a Silicon Graphics Workstation, a HP UNIX Workstation, a
Macintosh and a PC running any operating system from one accessing machine
at the same time. Portability is another principal benefit of
a Synapse TAP Workstation. No software is required on the host machine.
Simply plug a Synapse TAP Workstation into any host computer the workstation
supports. Synapse is developing new solutions for the TAP
that are even more portable and wireless. In the future a wireless handheld
Synapse TAP Workstation will allow users to communicate to
any computer regardless of platform or operating system. Smaller and more
portable Synapse TAP Workstations are currently in development and a
wearable version will be available soon. Features:
Voice recognition cross-platform access to Networks, Mac, SGI, SUN, HP UNIX,
PCs running any operating system and mainframes. Access to
DOS/Windows/Win95/NT applications Internet/Intranet/network connectivity.
Options:
Headmouse, Eye-tracking or other alternative pointing devices. Motorized
adjustable workstation furniture. Single-switch interface. Augmentative
communication tools. Synapse TAP System Clients Include:
Boeing, Lockheed, Wells Fargo Bank, Bank of America, California State
Automobile Association, National Security Agency, Hewitt-Packard, Sun
