- Abstract
- Voice Recognition is one of several automatic identification technologies; each of these has one common characteristic, that they are used to automatically enter data into a computer without resort to a keyboard. Voice has the potential to be the most important of all such technologies because the human can enter data simply by speaking. The state of the art is such that this cannot be achieved without several limitations although there are many applications where voice recognition is the only logical choice of data entry; these are referred to as "eyes busy-hands busy" applications and those where handicapped persons are the users. The report discusses the basics of the technology and the state of the art; costs and capabilities of the various commercial systems are shown, as well as some of the major applications. To determine whether VR is suitable for a particular user, the report provides information on planning and implementing a VR system.
