ABSTRACT:
Speech recognition is provided which is operable with a host computer having a keyboard. An electrical circuit inclusive of the speech recognition is incorporation into the host computer. A first electrical connector communicates between the electrical circuit and the computer and a second electrical connector communicates between the electrical circuit and the keyboard. A microphone inputs voice commands to the electrical circuit and a software application installed in the host computer configures and trains the voice commands with corresponding key-press information. A microcontroller controls the transmission of the voice commands to the host computer while the electrical circuit includes a switch for allowing the microcontroller to send the key-press information to the host computer via the first electrical connector such that the key-press information is communicated separately from the voice commands communicated to the host computer. In a preferred embodiment, another electrical connector is provided for communicating between the electrical circuit and another port of the computer. The foregoing is also applicable to an internal circuit board installed into the computer. In still another embodiment, the key-press entry is communicated separately from pre-loaded commands sent from the computer.
