Abstract
A device for administering checklists to a user requires positive confirmation that each step of the checklist has been performed before it will proceed to the next step. In one form, positive confirmation is provided by a check button, following the actuation of which the device can be advanced to state the next step by pressing a playback button. In another form, the device is voice actuated, so the user speaks one or more certain words, at least one of which is in the step as stated by the device, and the device detects the correct word(s) and proceeds to the next step. In addition, emergency checklists are directly accessible by pressing a speed button or by speaking the name of the emergency checklist.
