voice controls

Hands-free device operation

Voice controls are systems that respond to spoken commands, allowing users to operate devices or software without touching them.

A car's voice controls might adjust temperature or play music; a smart speaker's voice controls handle everything from timers to home automation.

I use voice controls when my hands are full.
