Abstract
A point-of-sale system which uses speech entry to identify and tally items without bar code labels, such as produce items. The system includes a microphone, a scale, and a terminal. The terminal uses the microphone to record words from a checker identifying a produce item during a transaction and prompts an operator to identify the produce item by speaking into the microphone when the produce item is placed upon the scale. The terminal also identifies a price for the item and enters the price into the transaction when the produce item is removed from the scale.
