Abstract

This contribution is about a system called VoiCenter that allows motor-handicapped people to control PC and standard electric and electronics devices (lights, heating, climate control, electric blinds, TV, radio, DVD, HI-FI etc.) in their homes. The PC and the devices are possible to be controlled with the help of simple voice commands. The wireless connection between PC and the devices was used in this system. This is good for fast installation of this complex system in homes. We have used our own speech recognition and control computer system that is described in this paper too.
