Abstract
A method and apparatus for capturing data in a workstation, wherein a large number of data associated with a sample which is viewed, by a user, through an optical device, such as a microscope, is to be entered in a computer related file. The optical device can be moved to a data-sampling position utilizing voice commands. A pointer can then be moved to an appropriate place in the file to receive the data relating to the data-sampling position. Data can be then entered in the appropriate position utilizing a voice command. The steps of moving the pointer and entering the data can then be repeated until all data is provided with respect to the data-sampling positions.
