A rapidly growing information industry based on the combined technologies of the digital computer and telecommunications offers unique opportunities for employment of the physically handicapped. In the studies reported here, the use of voice control was investigated as an alternative to mechanical control for two quadriplegic clients too severely disabled to successfully operate a typewriter keyboard. Using a recently developed voice terminal, the clients were able to type finished copy and program a remotely located computer entirely by voice control. The voice terminal is presently in production. An evaluation of the vocational potential of the voice terminal is currently being conducted by the Rehabilitation Services Administration, DHEW.
一个基于数字计算机和电信组合技术迅速发展的信息产业，为身体有残疾的人提供了独特的就业机会。在本文所报道的研究中，对两名四肢瘫痪的严重残疾客户进行了调查，研究了使用语音控制作为机械控制的替代方法，因为他们残疾过于严重，无法成功操作打字机键盘。通过使用最近开发的语音终端，这些客户能够完全通过语音控制来打出完整的文稿并对远程计算机进行编程。该语音终端目前正在生产中。卫生、教育与福利部康复服务管理局目前正在对该语音终端的职业潜力进行评估。
