One Voice Technologies’ One Voice software add-on for Windows XP Media Center is designed to allow users to control their TV, stereo, and computer via verbal commands. The One Voice slogan is “Just say it to play it.” The purpose of the product is ease of use, and the underlying technology is voice recognition. The basic operations of the program are based on a set of simple commands such as “play” and “record.” When the application is launched it scrolls through the computer, gathers the names of picture folders, artist names, albums and genres, and automatically creates phonetic matches to each name or word in the inventory.
