Method for hands-free operation of a pointer
The method of the invention involves a plurality of steps including, defining a set of user voice commands for hands-free control of a pointer and, in response to receiving a first audio input recognized as one of the set of user voice commands, initiating motion of the pointer in a direction indicated by the user voice command. Subsequently, in response to receiving a second audio input, the pointer motion can be discontinued. Finally, in response to receiving one or more subsequent audio inputs not recognized as being among the set of user voice commands, the pointer can be incrementally moved responsive to the subsequent audio inputs.
