Voice activated GUI-the next user interface
Rosalind Rogoff · 2002
Voice activation is the user interface of the future. Not only will you be able to tell your computer what to do, you will be able to activate multiple functions in your car, television, or microwave oven by voice commands. The author considers how voice activation could impact your life and your job, and how the field of technical communications will change because of it. She considers voice commands and dictation using L&H VoiceXpress and the Conversay Voice Surfer. She also discusses what voice activation is, what it can do, and what hardware and software is needed.
