Voice based Control of Appliances using LabVIEW

Abstract

A voice based control of appliances for home and office automation become increasingly important and interesting. Automation with the voice provides better time management. These also improve the quality of our lives by automating some of the electrical home appliances such as light source, A/V equipment, computer, security device, etc. In this paper a voice based control of devices using LabVIEW is implemented. User can input the control command through the head phone. Different frequencies are assigned to the device when the spoken command matches with that frequency the device responds. LabVIEW is used to process and recognize the voice signal then the signals is used to send commands to the control unit to control a wide range of mains appliances in homes and offices.
