VOICE RECORDING ELECTRONIC SCHEDULER

摘要

Electronic sheduling devices are widely available but none utilize speech as the means of storing messages and controlling functionality. The use of speech, rather than a type written message, is a novel approach to this application because it makes the device language independent (not limited to particular alphabet or keypad), removes the burden of manual message input, and makes the device available to the visually impaired and others incapable of utilizing the written language. By employing both voice recognition (43) and sythesis (12), voice commands and information can be interpreted through and interactive process. Integrating speech storage and control technology with an electronic appointment keeping device introduces an important new product which can be offered to individuals as a means of improving their work efficiency and daily productivity.
