commands sent with microphone

[f.ducret@sussex.ac.uk]

Hi!
I am using LabView 4.1 to control the motion of 2 traverse systems via
stepper motors.
The labview interface features a table of predefined points.
Buttons are used to select and send the point which moves the stepper
motors to a certain location.

What I would like to do is to send the command by "talking" to the
computer through a wireless microphone instead of pressing any key since
I am operating my experiment from a certain distant away.
For instance, by saying "1" the computer should be able to understand
and interpret that the operator has selected the point number 1 in the
table and send the command to the port to action the stepper motors.
Any suggestion?

You could use the Microsoft Agent 2.0 as an Active X object. Check out the
MSDN website for more details:

Note that Agent is shipped with win2000, but is fully compatible with
win9
5/98/nt4.
Hope that helps,
