This paper examines the function of systems which are now available for voice input into computer memory. Strengths of present systems are discussed along with their weaknesses. Situations in which a voice data entry system is appropriate are explored as well as those system requirements which make voice input device systems feasible. One voice input device is tested in an industrial situation. The system is compared to two other methods of data entry on the basis of data entry time, total task time, and on error rate. The voice system shows longer entry time when compared with standard keyboarding but with higher accuracy. When the voice system is allowed to function to its potential by eliminating intermediate steps in the process, it is more efficient and more accurate. Tests conducted have shown that the maximum number of entries per minute over a very short duration (10 sec.) was about fifty-five. In an eight-minute sustained test, rates of about forty entries per minute were possible, but in long-term, the rate dropped to about 26 entries per minute. With proper coding and use on tasks where some components can be shortened or eliminated, the voice can be better than the keyboard.

AbstractObjective:To develop a nutritional dietary intake database based on available reliable international nutritional databases adapted to the local needs of a specific population.Design:The Negev Nutritional Study (NNS) is a survey of a random sample of the Negev population regarding their dietary intake using 24-hour dietary recalls. A nutritional database for the Israeli population was developed based on adaptation and modification of the US Department of Agriculture's database. A data-entry system was developed based on the logic of the US Food Information Analysis System. The system was designed as bilingual (English and Hebrew). Local foods and recipes were collected during the NNS, which included 1465 24-hour diet interviews.Results:During the course of the NNS, 383 basic Israeli recipes were constructed. In total 1362 Israeli products were added to the database, and each was given a code, specific gravity and portion size. Most of the added products were cereals and grains and dairy products. The added recipes were collected from the interviewees in the NNS and from the most popular cookbooks.Conclusions:This paper describes the process undertaken to develop an Israeli food composition database as well as the data-entry system. This knowledge may aid other research groups in developing a computerised, nation-specific nutritional database and data-entry system adapted to their own specific local needs.
