Excerpt from Proceedings of the Louisville Conference on Time Compressed Speech: October 19-21, 1966
A special interest in aural communication has been expressed by those who, for whatever reason, must place extraordinary reliance upon what they hear in order to communicate. Blind school children, for instance. Depend heavily upon recorded language because they do not have access to the system of communication built around the print letter code, and because the rate at which braille can be read is very slow when compared with the visual reading rate. Also because auditory information is more easily and economically transmitted than visual information by wire or radio, there are many situations, such as military operations, in which exclusive reliance is placed on the aural communication of crucial messages.
