Abstract :
This paper describes the design of a voice-activated environmental control system to aid persons with disabilities, particularly people with quadriplegia, paraplegia, or cerebral palsy. The system consists of a universal remote control with X10 home automation capability, a Motorola 6811 microprocessor, and an off-the-shelf voice recognition circuit
