Abstract
A great deal of research has been conducted in the past
23 years concerning the use of voice recognition equipment
with computers. The goal of this research has been to
improve the nan- machine interface. With the breakthrough
from discrete to continuous voice recognition technology in
the 1973's, a large step toward that goal was taken.
This thesis attempts to show that continuous voice
recognition technology can be effectively applied in a
highly interactive, computer-aided wargaming environment.
Through analysis of the strictly-formatted command syntax of
the Naval Warfare Interactive Simulation System (NWISS) and
use of commercially available, innovative, continuous speech
hardware and software, a new input medium was created for
the users of that wargame. The true effectiveness of this
application of voice recognition technology must still be
tested. Plans for such testing are being made and, to that
extent, the thesis objectives are partly met.
