Voice Input
How does voice recognition work?
You’re right!
Step 1: User dictates text into microphone.Step 2: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) translates sound waves into digital measurements the computer can understand. Measurements include pitch, volume, silences, and phenomes. Phenomes are sound units such as aw and guh.
Step 3: The software compares the spoken measurements to those in its database to find a match or list of possible matches.
Step 4: To narrow a list down, the software presents the user with a list of choices or uses a natural language component to predict the most likely match. The user may correct any wrong selection made by the software.

Step 7: Using software supplied with the camera, the images are viewed on the screen, incorporated into documents, or printed.
Step 2: The image is focused on a chip called a charge-coupled device (CCD).
Step 3: The CCD generates an analog signal that represents the image.
Step 1: Point to the image to photograph. Light passes into the lens of the camera.
Step 4: The analog signal is converted to a digital signal by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC).Step 5: A digital signal processor (DSP) adjusts the quality of the image and stores the digital image on storage media in the camera.

What are measurements of resolution?
dots per inch (dpi)
Number of pixels in an inch of screen
displaybits per dot
Number of bits a camera stores in a dot
The more bits used to represent a dot, the more colors and shades of gray that can be represented

How does a flatbed scanner work?
Step 2: A bright light moves underneath the scanned documentStep 3: An image of the document is reflected into a series of mirrorsStep 4: The light is converted to an analog electrical current that is converted to a digital signal by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
Step 5: The digital information is sent to memory in the computer to be used by illustration, desktop publishing, or other software; or it is stored on disk
Step 6: You can print the image, e-mail it, include it in a document, or place it on a Web page
Step 6
Step 1: The document to be scanned is placed face down on the glass window
