Chimera
A System for Voice-Driven Command and Control
Ben Saks, Keith Purrington, Paul H. Kim, and Derek Deren



       Abstract:

       This system is a command-and-control dialogue system that allows a user to interact with the operating system by issuing voice commands to the computer. Our system interprets those spoken commands and routes them through a series of actuators. These actuators perform any of a number of common tasks: moving windows, resizing windows, launching applications, browsing web pages, and following links. The key feature of the system is the various degrees of natural language understood by it. This allows the user to issue commands without adhering to a strict syntax, freeing the user to speak naturally.
