T. V. Raman Book order

This book is based on the author's Ph. D. thesis which was selected during the 1994 ACM Doctoral Dissertation Competition as one of the two co-winning works. T. V. Raman did his Ph. D. work at Cornell University with Professor Davied Gries as thesis advisor. The author presents the computing system ASTER that audio formats electronic documents to produce audio documents. ASTER can speak both literary texts and highly technical documents containing complex mathematics (presented in (LA)TEX).

Exploring the intersection of technology and communication, this book delves into auditory user interfaces and their potential to create more intuitive interactions between humans and computers. It examines the evolution of speech technologies, the design principles behind effective auditory systems, and the implications for accessibility and user experience. By focusing on how auditory feedback can enhance user engagement, the work offers insights into the future of human-computer interaction and the role of sound in digital environments.
