ABSTRACT:
A computer system retrofit is described which allows the inclusion of voice recognition capabilities to provide a user of a standard system not incorporating voice recognition with the ability to use voice commands when editing a document on a computer system. An apparatus that recognizes speech patterns may be inserted in a computer system as a stand alone unit that provides keystroke data to the standard keyboard cable input port of a microprocessor unit. The apparatus, based on the detection of predetermined voice commands, generates keystroke data which are equivalent to the keystroke data which would have been generated had the computer user physically depressed a corresponding sequence of keys at a keyboard.
