Abstract

A system and method for providing wireless communication which is controlled by voice recognition software running on a controller. The system includes an earset communicator and a Base Station that allows wireless communication between these elements. The earset communicator rests comfortably on the user's ear and is held in place by an earhook. The transceiver Base Station communicates wit the earset communicator and connects to a host controller, such as personal computer ("PC") or a household product, and to a network interface such as an internet connection or phone line. Voice commands are used for many functions for controlling the system. The Base Station routes the earset microphone audio to the controller software for speech recognition and command processing. Speech recognition software on the controller interprets the voice command and acts accordingly.
