<p>A hand held data entry controller (40) includes a chassis (12) having a handle portion which is shaped to fit in the user's hand. A microphone (42) for providing an acoustic speech signal representative of a user's speech and a cursor transducer (44), such as a track ball, are attached to the chassis (12). The hand held data entry controller (40) may be connected to a speech recognition system, to allow the user to dictate using the microphone (42) and to indicate the desired location for entry of the dictation using the cursor transducer (44). The data entry device includes at least one command button attached to the chassis, such as a voice command button (48). Upon activation, the voice command button (48) provides a command signal to indicate whether the acoustic speech signal represents a spoken command.</p> |
