Abstract:
A radiotelephone, comprising:a first input user interface, said first input user interface including a plurality of keys; a second input interface for receiving user-uttered speech, said second input interface being responsive to receiving the user-uttered speech for providing a speech output signal; an output user interface; a memory, said memory including a first plurality of memory locations, each of the first plurality of memory locations being associated with a respective one of the keys; a voice encoder coupled to said second input user interface, said voice encoder being responsive to receiving said speech output signal for outputting information representing acoustic characteristics of the user-uttered speech; a controller coupled to said first input user interface, said output user interface, said memory, said voice encoder, and to said second input user interface, said controller being responsive to detecting user-input information specifying that a program mode be entered for controlling said output user interface so as to prompt the user to depress at least one of the keys, said controller also being responsive to the user depressing each individual key for indexing the memory location associated with the individual key and for controlling said output user interface so as to prompt the user to utter a speech identifier for the individual key, said controller then being responsive to receiving information output from said voice encoder for storing the information in the indexed memory location as an identifier for the individual key.
