V-botics
V-botics is the science and information technology of employing voice (speech or commands) to operate within a software platform or program to navigate completely hands-free throughout all functions of the program.

V-bot
A v-bot is an application component designed to integrate Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-To-Speech (TTS) as an alternative means of human interaction with an application. It monitors user interface and user activities dynamically building command grammars in context of the current state of the applications user interface. A v-bot may automate one or more of the following based on Voice Command Recognition (VCR):

Menus - Execute menu commands based on menu text VCR, Open/Close sub menus on menu text VCR, Read menu text on VCR

Dialog or Window Controls - Discovery of available UI controls on VCR, Uses TTS to describe control content, Control navigation on VCR, Control modification on VCR

HTML Page Elements - Discovery of available UI elements on VCR, Uses TTS to describe control content, Control navigation on VCR, Control modification on VCR

Origin
Advancements in the technology of handheld computing devices and cellular products have driven software researchers and developers to produce a quicker and safer way for the operator interface with these devices versus having to focus on and operate a keypad. However, the success of voice enabling software products has been limited to-date due to extensive programming requirements of code to facilitate voice enablement. Consequently, these ‘voice products’ still require considerable manual operator interface with a keypad. The need for completely hands-free, and even eyes-free, software operation has been the catalyst behind the development of v-botics.
