This study introduces a voice-controlled laboratory data entry system, enhancing efficiency for hazardous waste disposal tracking. The system uses speech recognition and wireless microphones for hands-free data input, streamlining regulatory compliance.

Area of Science:

  • Laboratory Informatics
  • Occupational Health and Safety

Background:

  • Manual data entry in laboratories can be time-consuming and physically restrictive.
  • Regulatory compliance for hazardous waste disposal requires meticulous record-keeping.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a voice-controlled data entry system for laboratory applications.
  • To improve the efficiency and ease of tracking hazardous waste disposal.

Main Methods:

  • A system integrating a personal computer, speech recognition software, and a wireless microphone was assembled.
  • A prototype relational database was created to record the disposal of radionuclides and hazardous chemicals.
  • Voice commands were used for real-time data entry as items were discarded.
