Voice recognition and voice synthesis work well but not well enough voice synthesis is too artificial sounding and voice recognition only works in ideal conditions. The errors that occur in a normal environment indicate to the user that voice technology is not ready, when in fact it simply lacks adequate software intelligence to prevent mistakes. The purpose of this research is to enhance with artificial intelligence software, the basic capabilities of the current hardware. This artificial intelligence parallels the way humans use experience and context to help them understand normal conversation. Voice recognition will be used to simulate the keyboard in the control of displays.
