          Application 09/306,469                                                      


          hand-held scanners and digital scanning cameras.  Claim 1,                  
          directed toward the method, is illustrative:                                
               1.   A voice macro control method for a voice controlled               
          capture device comprising the steps of:                                     
               (a) receiving a first voice macro command voice input in a             
                    voice pickup component of said voice controlled capture           
                    device;                                                           
               (b) converting said first voice macro command voice input              
                    into a first digital signal and sending said first                
                    digital signal to a host processor;                               
               (c) converting, within said host processor, said first                 
                    digital signal into a first recognition pattern;                  
               (d) comparing said first recognition pattern to at least               
                    one stored recognition pattern stored in a voice macro            
                    command recognition table;                                        
               (e) when said first recognition pattern matches one of said            
                    at least one stored recognition patterns stored in said           
                    voice macro command recognition table, retrieving a               
                    voice macro command file linked to said one of said at            
                    least one stored recognition patterns, and sending said           
                    voice macro command file to said capture device;                  
               (f) accessing, within said capture device, at least one                
                    command number from said voice macro command file;                
               (g) finding a matching command number in a voice command               
                    recognition table;                                                
               (h) retrieving a first voice command file linked to said               
                    matching command number in said voice command                     
               recognition table; and                                                 





                                          2
