Abstract. According to the application demand of military plotting, in this
paper we design the intelligent military plotting system using speech recogni-
tion technology and MGIS, the military personnel can plot using speech. We
analyze the function and performance of the mainstream speech recognition
software and select the Viavoice, then we design the construction of intelligent
plotting system, we mainly focus on the design of plotting and edition com-
mand, introduce the preparation work of the intelligent plotting system includ-
ing data preparation and the setting of Viavoice, at last we realize the system
using MGIS and Viavoice.

Keywords: Speech recognition, Viavoice, military plotting, intelligence.

1 Introduction

In the military plotting work, we can use military symbol and note to plot military
situation on topographic maps, aerial photographs and maps [1]. With the develop-
ment of information technology, by using computer plotting, we can effectively
improve the efficiency of plotting, computer plotting is widely used in military field.
With the development of human-computer interaction technology, at present a
new human-computer interaction method has appeared, it is speech recognition. By
using the technique, the computer can understand what people say, the computer
can analyze the speech, and the computer can implement corresponding command
according to the speech. The technology has developed quickly, it has been used
in the computer, television, mobile phone and other intelligent equipments. If we
can combine speech interaction technology with computer plotting technology, then
we can make the computer understand plotting command from plotting personnel,
make the computer plot automatically. By using this technology, we can effectively
reduce the workload of plotting personnel. From the considerations, we try to use the
mature speech recognition software and military geographic information sys-
tem(MGIS) to construct the intelligent speech plotting system, realize the automatic
plotting.
