Abstract

To accomplish control tasks, an emerging innovative method of automation is voice control. In conjunction with Lab VIEW [1] and Windows Speech recognition [2], the two most human interactive activities; drawing of curtains and switching on and off of lights are controlled. This will help in improving living standard by making living easier for elderly people, reducing frustration and increasing independence at senior homes in the South pacific. The price comparison indicates that 81.25% saving can be made with this product in regards to energy consumption.
