<p>Includes a postage value determining scale (12) and optionally peripheral devices such as a postage meter/mailing machine (24, 26). The scale includes a processor (16), a memory (15) which stores postage rate data, a weighing device (14) which generates weight indicative signals, a display (20), and a keyboard (18). A voice recognition subsystem (38) is coupled to the system processor for hands free operator entry of information relating to postage value determinations. The voice recognition subsystem is trained to recognize various operator words and generate appropriate signals for postage value determination, e.g. zone information, area code information, and rate classification, as well as command signals. The system processor receives such signals from either the voice recognition subsystem (38) or the keyboard (18).</p> |
