1. A method for loading object on a transport vehicle comprising:
- a. using a mobile computer usable with a transport vehicle having a bar code reader, a display, an audio output device, an audio input device, a tactile input device, text-to-speech software, a voice recognition software, loader applications software, a printer and radio frequency identification (RFID) reader wherein the mobile computer is adapted for communication between an loader server system and a user and the loader server system is adapted for communication between the mobile computer and at least one external computer system;
b. entering a user code to log onto the mobile computer;
c. training the voice recognition software by the user to recognize any number of unique commands using the language;
d. providing instructions to the user from the loader applications software using the text-to-speech software to the audio output device and providing information from the loader applications software to the display;
e. transmitting a request from the mobile computer to the loader server system to obtain a list of objects to be loaded;
f. using the applications software to generate a summary of the objects to be loaded from the list;
g. displaying the summary of the objects to be loaded on the display;
h. providing the summary of the objects to be loaded using via the text-to-speech software to the audio output device;
i. performing a step which is a member of the group;
acknowledging the summary of objects to be loaded by the user using the tactile input device and acknowledging the summary of objects to be loaded using the audio input device;
j. identifying an object to determine if the object is to be loaded by a step selected from the group consisting of;
i. speaking the characters identifying the object into the audio input device;
ii. scanning a barcode on the object;
iii. reading a RFID data on the object;
k. advising the user with the text-to-speech software to the audio output device of a member of the group consisting of;
i. the object can be loaded;
ii. the object is not loadable;
iii. the object is out of sequence for the load;
iv. the object is for a different load;
l. acknowledging the object has been loaded using a method selected from the group;
i. providing an acknowledgement using the voice recognition software;
ii. bar code scanning a transport vehicle;
iii. bar code scanning the location of the transport vehicle;
iv. reading an RFID tag for a transport vehicle; and
v. reading an RFID tag for the location of the transport vehicle;
m. repeating steps (j) through (l) until all objects have been loaded;
n. providing an acknowledgement to the loader server system the results of the process steps (b) through (m); and
o. transferring the results from the loader server system to the at least one external computer system.
