a  command  after  the  beep. The 
voice recognition s\-ystem will execute 
the  desired  operation  after  under -
standing the comman\-d.

of  the  corresponding  Commands 
on  the  screen  while  the Voice 
Recognition system\- is in operation.
 
Combining  voice  recognition  with 
available  on-screen  commands 
is  useful  when  the  system  is  tak -
ing  longer  than  expected  or  the 
voice  command  did  not  execute  as 
desired.
