ABSTRACT:
Method for implementing a multi-action voice macro (140) for a voice recognition navigator program (102) on a computer system. The method involves analyzing a target application program (22) to determine a plurality of target application states (24). Each of the target application states (24) is comprised of a plurality of window objects. The target application states are arranged in the form of one or more sub-context trees, with each of the sub-context trees comprised of a plurality of sub-context objects (50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68). A set of user inputs is determined to which each of the window objects will be responsive. Each user input is assigned a corresponding voice macro (140) which simulates the user inputs in response to a spoken utterance. The voice macro (140) includes a link field (148), which identifies at least one linked macro to be executed by the navigator program (102) when a specific vocabulary phrase for the voice macro (140) is spoken by a user.
