In this study, three methods of data entry were compared for entering navigation coordinate sets: a) connected-word voice recognition, b) keyboard, and c) thumb-controlled switch. The subjects, 12 active Army aviators, entered the data as a sole task and also while flying a helicopter simulator equipped with a computer-generated, external scene. The different data entry methods were compared for time to enter the data, for errors, and for the effect on flight performance. Results showed that the keyboard was faster and resulted in fewer errors than the other two data entry methods. The time to enter data by voice was increased by the high nonrecognition rate (12 percent) and the error correction procedure. An overall 81 percent recognition accuracy rate was achieved in this study, with individual rates varying from 58 percent to 99 percent. Based on a subjective questionnaire, the majority of subjects still preferred to enter data by voice.
