1. A telephone installation comprising:
- a portable voice module for the voice-controlled operation and control of devices, comprising;
an analog/digital and digital/analog converter circuit (AD/DA), responsive to analog user voice and active vocabulary command input signals from an analog interface (Analog I/O), for providing digital user voice and active vocabulary command input signals, and further responsive to digital voice output signals, for providing analog voice output signals to the analog interface (Analog I/O);
a digital signal processor (DSP), responsive to digital input signals from a digital I/O interface (Digital I/O), responsive to computer interface input signals from a computer interface (PORT), and responsive to the digital user voice and active vocabulary command input signals, for providing digital data, computer interface data, or active vocabulary command and synthesized voice memory input signals, and further responsive to digital data, computer interface data, or synthesized voice memory output signals, for providing digital output signals to the digital I/O interface (Digital I/O), computer interface output signals to the computer interface (PORT), or digital voice output signals to the analog/digital and digital/analog converter circuit (AD/DA); and
a memory circuit (S), responsive to the digital data, computer interface data, or active vocabulary command and synthesized voice memory input signals, for providing the digital data, computer interface data, or synthesized voice memory output signals to the digital signal processor (DSP); and
a telephone device having a plug-in interface for receiving the portable voice module.

Abstract
The operation and control of devices is made possible by a portable unit. Operation and control of devices, particularly telephone installations is a means of speech via a portable voice module. A portable voice module contains a digital signal processor (DSP), a memory (S), an analog-digital/digital-analog converter (AD/DA), an analog interface (ANALOG I/O), a computer interface (PORT) and a digital interface (DIGITAL I/O). A telephone installation consists of the portable voice module and a telephone device, which is composed of basic units and interfaces.
