MatrixHCI has already proven that speech enabling these applications can provide pilots with easy access to software functions and flight information by merely speaking to their devices. This allows pilots to keep their hands, eyes, and attention on their primary function of flying the aircraft without having to divert their attention to operate their software applications.

Additionally, by speech enabling these applications, pilots are able to cut through many menu commands and text entries to reach their desired application screen or information.

As an example, a pilot could just speak, “File a flight plan from KLAS to KBOS,” and the software will automatically perform all the many entries that would normally be necessary as they had to interface with traditional menu displays.

They could easily say, “Show me arrival procedures for Las Vegas McCarran International Airport,” and the system would display instantly all available arrival procedures available.

They could then drill down into a specific arrival map by saying, “Show me the Kaddy One Arrival Chart,” and the chart would be instantly displayed on the screen.
