Circuit/System Description

The telematics communication interface control module is capable of interpreting voice commands received over the cellular microphone circuits. Speech recognition allows the user to speak to one computer in the vehicle, and one reached over the cellular communication network. The module attempts to understand the users command, and responds by speaking back, or by taking the appropriate action, e.g. dialing the phone.
