The VEB 21-CF converts a normal workstation PC into a full fledged Paging Station with additional features that never before could an ordinary paging console do. The operator now could make zone selection visually, similar to a paging console with button selections. The Text Streaming feature allows announcements to be entered in text, real-time or pre-stored. The text will then be synthesised into human voice and broadcasted. Text streaming assures that all announcements made are consistent in voice, pronunciation, rate of speech and loudness. A VT 61 paging gooseneck microphone is to be connected to the PC's 3.5mm microphone input port for use with the VEB 21-CF.
