Abstract
A data collection system includes a portable data collection terminal with a voice prompt circuit, and optionally a bar code scanning device, such as a wand. The portable data collection terminal is similar in size and performs the same data collection functions as prior art portable data collection terminals but adds voice prompts for improved functionality, flexibility, and ease of use. When data is entered from either a keypad, or a bar code scanner, or when the operator needs to be prompted to take a particular action, a voice prompt circuit is activated to provide an oral message to the operator. The portable data collection terminal is connected to a host computer, which can provide real time instructions to the user, by utilizing the voice prompts from the portable data collection terminal. The host computer can be connected to the portable data collection terminal by either a wired or a wireless link.
