Abstract
A voice controlled capture device contains a processor that receives voice macros to control its operation. The capture device receives voice input, digitizes and sends the input to a second processor in a host computer system where speech recognition software within the host computer interprets the voice input to select a macro, and returns commands from the macro to the capture device where they are executed. Utilizing an interface or macro recorder within the capture device, and the speech recognition software within the host computer, the user can create voice macros incorporating individual voice commands. In a second embodiment, the capture device both analyzes the voice input and executes the commands of the macro.
