The Voice Activated Remote Control

SHARE:

Adjust text size:


Haven't you gotten sick and tired of all that button pressing action on your remote whenever you want to turn the TV on or off, change the channels or set the volume? Well, it seems that this problem might disappear on the future, as most such commands will be...vocal. And one of the first devices which grant remote control vocal capabilities is the InVoca Voice Activated TV Remote Control from Brookstone.

The vocal remote control is, obviously,
extremely user-friendly, since all the user has to do is ....utter a command, which is immediately carried out by the remote. Moreover, the device can memorize up to 54 voice commands (including multiple commands), spoken by up to 4 persons, and can be used for controlling not only the normal TV functions, but also the VCR, DVD or satellite ones.

The InVoca Voice Activated TV Remote Control uses internal batteries, rechargeable via a special charging base, and is even able to save the users' favorite channels and settings. Thus, it can prove to be the perfect solution for those situations when you're either too tired to even operate the remote, or impaired, for some reason, to do so, or you're the ultimate couch potato.
