Abstract

A control language that accepts user commands through an isolated-word recognizer is described in terms of its function and structure. The commands enable either text processing or robotic motion. Entirely speech driven, the system functions as an augmentative aid for individuals with severe motor disabilities. Based on a design that results in a transparent user interface, the system puts the technically nontrained end user in control of developing a speech recognition vocabulary and programming a robot to perform useful tasks
