voice control systems, inc., based in dallas, tex., has developed amicroprocessor unit that allows standard cellular telephones to "dial"numbers at the sound of a human voice. the voice dialer unit is attachedto the phone's transmitter and receiver in the car's trunk. programmedwith a limited vocabulary, it can respond only to digits and specificcontrol commands spoken by the users, who must pause a quarter of a secondbetween each digit or command. (frequently dialed numbers can be preprog-rammed into simple, single command codes.) the driver picks up the handset,and begins calls by saying "dial," followed by the number or command code;a synthesized voice will repeat the number sequence and place the calltold to "send." a unique aspect of the voice dialer is that it is speakerindependent; the unit will respond to any voice regardless of gender,accent or tone.
