Abstract

A system for automatically routing data captured by devices, such as digital cameras, personal digital assistants, laptop computers, or portable document scanners, through voice command annotation is disclosed. After capturing an image or document with the device, a voice disposition command is made by a user speaking into a voice pickup component in the device to control the disposition of the captured image or document. Commands such as 'fax', 'e-mail', 'print and save' are typical. The voice input is stored in the device in a voice command annotation file and is associated with the image or document data file. Upon copying the image or document data file to a host computer system, the voice command annotation file is automatically copied with it. The host computer system processes the voice command annotation file and executes one or more instructions associated with the command or commands contained in the file.
