Produced by the Dallas-based Bill Stokes Associates, "The Computer Tutor . . . or How to Teach Your Computer to Read" explains the innovative and exciting new technology of the electronic retina computing reader coming to Dallas company Recognition Equipment, Inc. Invented by Recognition co-founder Edward Gordon Perry Jr., the electronic retina used optical character recognition to read text, not holes entered by hand on punch cards. It could reach up to 2,400 characters per second with less than one error in every 100,000 characters, while simultaneously processing the input data.
