Abstract

A system and method for searching, assembling, and manipulating a variety of multi-media using voice converted to text commands. Digital images, movies, audio, or text is verbally searched and retrieved from a variety of video and audio databases using a combination of directional commands and a means for juxtaposing and assembling search results. The desired media is then placed onto a platform means for manipulating and editing the media files. Any retrieved media files and/or images can be manipulated and assembled on-screen using commands such as 'zoom' or 'move left' by having corners and borders read by the grid of the platform means. The image(s) are also capable of being stacked, or overlay one another to define re-proportioned backgrounds. The image(s) from the platform means are displayed without the grid using an image platter as a means of providing a preliminary view of the presentation prior to projection. The system allows for the hand-free assembly and editing of music and movies, and provides a means for verbally assembling pre-planned or impromptu presentations comprising video or audio clips, digital images, or text retrieved from multiple local and remote databases, such as a DVD movie-base or the World Wide Web.
