Getting Started

This page contains information to help you get started with the Voice Inspection Android application.

Initial Setup

Operators are instructed to "Please keep quiet for a few seconds" as the application gathers background noise samples to help improve speech recognition. If they have not done so, the operator will also be instructed to train voice templates required by the application. This operation preparation is only required once for the running of the application.

Training Voice Templates

All new technicians must train their voice templates (all the common words that they will use in the voice-directed workflow) in order to perform an inspection with the Honeywell Voice Maintenance & Inspection Solution. The RapidStart application automatically guides technicians through the template training process.

HOW TO:

Have each technician put on his or her headset and turn on the paired device.

Device: "Please keep quiet for a few seconds."

Device: "Please say zero."

Tech: "Zero."

Device: "One."

Tech: "One."

Device: "Two."

Tech: "Two."

Device: "Please say the following words..."

The device prompts each word or phrase at least four times, and the technicians should repeat the prompts naturally. At the end of the training, the device says "Creating voice templates. Please wait." Finally, the device says "Finished creating voice templates," and it goes to sleep.
