Voice recognition
Voice recognition software allows for hands-free control of software and textual data entry. This capability has potential for integration into digital workflows for control of workflow components (cameras, software) and for data entry (dictation, metadata).

Projects using voice recognition
Project: Rapid inventory (prototype)
