How Vulcan Voice Works
Vulcan Voice is made up of two main components: the text-to-speech (TTS) and the speech recognition (SR) modules.
Text-To-Speech:
The TTS converts work instructions from the database or other source into spoken voice prompts at the speaker or headset output.
Step 1. The database provides a work instruction and passes the text to Vulcan Voice TTS
Step 2. The Vulcan Voice TTS module converts the text into human sounding phonetics
Step 3. The mobile device's audio output plays the human quality speech
Voice Sample Text: “Voice enabling an Enterprise is typically done within the warehouse, stockyard or manufacturing environment for pick, place, put and other inventory and maintenance related operations.”

Speech Recognition:
The SR module takes a worker’s spoken responses from a microphone and converts them to data that can be updated in the database.
Step 1. A person speaks into the mobile device headset microphone
Step 2. The Vulcan Voice SR module converts the captured sound waves into text
Step 3. The mobile device delivers the returned text to the database
