1. A wireless voice-activated control system comprising:
- a remote processor-based host system;
a voice recognition processor operable to perform a voice recognition process and a memory that stores said voice recognition process and grammar files; and
a voice activated control unit for remotely controlling said remote processor-based host system comprising;
a microphone operable to receive voice command input from a user, thereby providing an audio input signal;
said microphone operably coupled to said voice recognition processor, said memory and said grammar files for voice recognition of said voice commands;
an audio transmitter operable to wirelessly transmit data derived from said audio input signal to said host system to control said host system;
a data receiver operable to wirelessly receive image data from said host system representing voice commanded display images; and
a display operable to generate and display said voice commanded images represented by said image data.
