With the word deSCRIPtion, SCRIP is the stressed("strong") syllable. Because it is a stressed syllable it makes the "vowels" in -"tion" sound weak.

With the word comPUTer, because PUT is the stressed syllable, it makes the vowels in "com" and "-er" sound weak.

This weak sound is called a "schwa". It sounds like the "a" in "about".

Does this help?

Intonation is the way that your voice rises and falls as you talk. For example, when you ask a question, your voice rises at the end of the sentence.
Elision: When you are talking, you sometimes don’t pronounce a sound. For example, if you want to say “bread and butter”, you don’t pronounce the “a” and the “d” in and. You say bread ‘n’ butter. You sometimes don’t pronounce a whole syllable when you are speaking: you can say prob’ly instead of probably, Febr’y instead of February.
Strong and weak syllables: I explained this in my last post.
Intonation and elision take place at the level of the sentence, when you are speaking.
Strong and weak syllables are inside the word. If you look for a word in a dictionary, it will tell you which syllable is strong and which syllables are weak.

When you talk, your intonation and your use of elision can change. But the strong and weak syllables in a word of two syllables or more do not change. They remain the way they are shown in the dictionary.

A coda is the end part of a syllable, for example, the [d] in head.
