Definitions

  • the electrical device according to the invention with the features of the main claim has the advantage that, due to the monosyllabic speech input, the error rate in the recognition of voice input is minimized and greater independence from voice input with dialect or accent is achieved.
  • Another advantage is that the operation for the user is greatly simplified and the effort of his attention and time for voice input is reduced to a minimum, since no multi-syllable syntactically complex terms have to be formulated.
  • the monosyllabic voice commands are hardly perceived by other road users as lip movements in the sense of a pathologically conspicuous soliloquy.
  • the measures listed in the subclaims permit advantageous developments and improvements of the electrical device specified in the main claim.
  • Position indicators are spatially assigned, preferably in the immediate vicinity, of the operating functions that can be displayed on the display device. In this way, the ease of use for the user is further increased, since there is a clear and quick and error-free assignment of the position indicators to the associated operating functions.
