Voice Recognition built in to Bluetooth Devices

BlueAnt and Sensory Partner in Voice Interfaces for Bluetooth Devices

"Bringing intuitive Voice User Interface for the Bluetooth headset market where speech control and a complete hands-free control will dramatically enhance the user experience."

As they say in their press release:

the first ever Bluetooth headset with a true voice user interface (VUI). The BlueGenie Voice Interface software suite enables manufacturers of Bluetooth products to integrate full voice control and synthetic speech output without the need for visual displays or complex user interfacing.

Users of the BlueAnt V1 will no longer deal with lengthy or confusing button pressing to access functionality. Instead, the VI can be controlled with simple phrases like "pair headset," "call home," "volume up" and "accept call." When it comes to checking headset status it will not be necessary to interpret confusing beep sequences or LEDs. BlueGenie's voice synthesis capability enables the V1 to speak back to the consumer, letting them know device settings including successful pairing of the headset, battery power level, etc.

I can't be the only one who can't remember the never ending list of button sequences to program my blue tooth headsets..... this has to be better.
