Abstract :
Methods for optimizing the use of the voice in an operating room environment are discussed. The work consists in organizing the dialogue on a high level in order to be `intelligent.´ The aim is to liberate the human´s concentration from the manipulation of equipment so that he or she can concentrate on tasks such as deductive reasoning or a choice of executable actions. Experimental results indicate that the results are promising, although not without various obstacles that need to be overcome
