| AsTeR uses stereo to render tables, an effect that is not conveyed by the 8-bit mono encoding. |
| AsTeR uses stereo effects to convey the two-dimensional structure of the matrix. |
| Since the renderings produced by AsTeR utilize features of the audio space not available to a human reader (I still have not met a reader who can change the size and shape of her head as she talks:-) the rendering takes under 80 seconds. |
