Abstract :
The Personal Exchange (PX) research project, which explores an architecture to provide personal workstation users with dexterity in manipulating voice, is discussed. PX concepts and an initial implementation of the architecture are described. Both the hardware (workstation, telephone, circuit server, and workstation adaptor) and software (call-processing toolkit, voice-storage toolkit, voice-processing toolkits, and PX voice editor) are examined.<>
