Speech recognition technology allows voice control of aircraft systems

June 22, 2007 New technology that allows pilots to control aircraft systems by voice command has been successfully tested on a UK Army Air Corps Gazelle helicopter. Designed to alleviate the problem of pilots spending too much time looking inside the cockpit – a problem exacerbated by the advent of complex multi-function displays – QinetiQ's Direct Voice Input (DVI) system incorporates speech recognition technology to facilitate the direct voice control of avionics equipment using standard aircrew helmet microphones and intercom.
