Procedures are presented to assist programers with the use of the Coursewriter II preprocessor. The preprocessor was designed to reduce the repetition of effort which takes place from the conception of a course by its author to the time of its use by students in on-line instruction. It accomplishes this by relieving the programer of the tedious…

A computer program for synthesizing speech by rule from phonetic data has been modified so that the rules for generating stop consonants depend upon context. Listening tests have shown that this expedient can increase the intelligibility of stop consonants in isolated CV syllables from 68 percent to 92 percent. (Author)
