Claim 17:
18. A motorcycle voice control system comprising:
a microphone sensitive to vocal activity disposed in a helmet, the microphone configured to produce voice-generated signals as a function of the vocal activity;
wake word processing circuitry configured to detect an occurrence of at least one wake word in the voice-generated signals;
command recognition circuitry configured to recognize voice-generated command signals out of the voice-generated signals;
command implementation circuitry configured to implement motorcycle dashboard actions as a function of voice-generated command signals recognized by the command recognition circuitry,
wherein the command recognition circuitry comprises:
a command recognition circuit located in a first signal propagation path towards the command implementation circuitry, the command recognition circuit configured to supply, to the command implementation circuitry, voice-generated command signals recognized by the command recognition circuitry; and
a network connectivity interface located in a second signal propagation path towards the command implementation circuitry, the network connectivity interface configured to:
transmit the voice-generated signals to a net-based voice-generated command signal recognition facility;
receive, from the net-based voice-generated command signal recognition facility, the voice-generated command signals recognized by the net-based voice-generated command signal recognition facility; and
supply, to the command implementation circuitry, the voice-generated command signals; and

a network availability node configured to, in response to detecting the occurrence of the at least one wake word by the wake word processing circuitry, check availability of the net-based voice-generated command signal recognition facility.
