HUMANIST readers might have some information relevant to this question.

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I am very interested in knowing of people who have developed Hypercard programs
for the purpose of teaching music. Two of the professors here at Middlebury
College are working on such projects. One program teaches students the princi-
ples of fugal composition through an analysis of the C minor fugue from Bach's
Well Tempered Clavier. The other teaches the acoustic principles involved in
electronic music composition.

If you know of anyone who is working on a Hypercard program, please send me
their name, title, and brief description of the program. I'll distribute the
results.

Fellow Humanists,
For the past few days a friend of mine has been threatening to go out and
buy Logitech's Scanman as soon as it is available bundled with a new soft-
ware package from Logitech called Catchword. Considering the recent discus-
sion about systems like OmniPage and TextPert here, Logitech's claims about
Catchword, if well-founded, would seem to make it an interesting alternative
for certain kinds of documents: it is non-trainable, meant to be able to re-
cognize characters from 6 to 20 point with very high accuracy across the
extended ASCII character set, and to sew text back together that has had to be
scanned twice because of the 4.5 inch width of the scanner. It is also claimed
to be capable of recognizing print styles that range from dot-matrix to kerned.
Is this too good to be true? Do any of you have experience with this software?
Eagerly awaiting your replies,
Richard Kidder
