1. An apparatus for speech recognition comprising:
- a computer device having speech recognition circuitry operable for processing audio signals for speech recognition in accordance with one or more speech recognizer algorithms;
a headset for coupling to the computer device and having at least one line for directing audio signals to the computer device, the headset having at least one characterizing signal associated therewith;
the headset configured to forward the characterizing signal on the at least one line to the computer device;
the computer device operable for receiving the characterizing signal and for configuring the computer device to select a speech recognizer algorithm based upon the characterizing signal.

Abstract
A communication system comprises a terminal configured for being able to communicate with a computer and to operate according to at least one operational parameter. A peripheral device for use with the terminal has a characterizing parameter associated therewith. The terminal is operable for reading the characterizing parameter from the peripheral device when the device is coupled to the terminal. The terminal is further operable for configuring itself to operate according to an operational parameter associated with the characterizing parameter of the peripheral device.
