What does voice recognition mean?

About voice recognition

The terms voice recognition and voice activation relate to a cellular phone’s ability to be controlled by voice commands.

Many modern phones are equipped with voice recognition capability. You save a sample of your voice in your phone which is associated with a number. Therefore when you say out loud, "Dial Mom," your phone can automatically dial your mother’s number.

This technology allows users to speed dial numbers without pressing any keys. It can also be useful when driving or using a hands-free kit.
