Abstract
A method and apparatus are described that allow inexpensive speech recognition in applications where this capability is not otherwise feasible because of cost or technical reasons, or because of inconvenience to the user. A relatively simple speaker independent recognition algorithm, capable of recognizing a limited number of utterances at any one time, is associated with the base unit of an electronics product. To function, the product requires information from an external medium and this medium also provides the data required to recognize several sets of utterances pertinent to other information provided by the external medium.
