Macros Explained
One of the powerful features of inVoca is its ability to utilize "macros." A
macro is simply a sequence of commands triggered by a single button push or
spoken word. A simple macro might be "0" followed by "7" followed by "Enter"
(for tuning your TV) reduced by a macro to a single command such as "ABC"
or "Millionaire."
A more complex macro would allow you to play a VCR tape. To do this the old
fashioned way you would need to press "TV" then"Power" then "0" then "3"
then "VCR" then "power" then "play." A macro would allow you to do all this
with a single spoken command such as "play tape." Isn't that easier? "Multiple
String Macros," explained on page 30, permit you to do such things as surf
between three or four channels with a single command — very handy for
watching New Year's Day football!
