This device would be placed in the kitchen and would have a microphone that would pick up select speech in the kitchen and convert it into a shopping list, which could then be retrieved and printed. You would say "We are out of milk", and the device would pick up the speech and put "Milk" on the shopping
list. The device would then beep and acknowledge that the item has been added to the list. The user could also specify afterwards to delete last item, in case it was accidental. It would have to also incorporate speech profiles to prevent 3-year old Bobby from coming in to the kitchen and saying, "We are out of chocolate chips" 10 times.

But you go out of your mind if it becomes out of order bcause it's out of print paper or the beeper gets out of tune. |

"You're out of line." (adds fishing tackle)
"Granny's lost her marbles!" (Adds marbles to list)
"He's lost his mind!" (adds sheep's brain)
"You've got no balls!" (adds another interesting delicacy to list.

Cassette deck plays Fairport Convention's "Who knows where the time goes". ASRSLG adds *another* box of herbs. |

You could get rid of the paper by using an online shopping service and sending the list electronically. |
|
| |
Additionally you could have the device listen to cooking programs with you so it could order all the ingredients for you. |

This is sort-of baked on my videophone. Click the notepad file with the shopping list in it; it kicks off the speech recogniser as the input device. Speak what you want and it writes it down for you.
Mind you, the vocabulary is a bit limited (unless you train in the individual words explicitly) and it can make a bit of a mess (often amusing) of things like "bolognaise" and "maraschino" ..... |
