Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a hand-held voice recognition peripheral device (VRPD) in electronic communication with and releasibly attached to a personal digital assistant (PDA) that executes a program;
wherein the VRPD receives a first data element from the program and a voice command provided by a user;
wherein the VRPD processes the first data element into an audible prompt; and
wherein the VRPD processes the voice command into a second data element using a voice recognition algorithm and transfers the second data element to the program.
