The operation you detailed is indeed the kind of thing that we hope to achieve with the empeg voice recognition system. It will be possible to train the system to recognise proper nouns (essential for selecting music!) using Windows/Linux/Mac software, which will probably become integrated with emplode. It is likely that specific links between words and playlists/tracks/genre/artists/etc will be something that the user decides upon.

Whether it will be possible to begin a command session by simply saying "empeg" or somesuch word isn't something we'll know for a while yet. It's more likely that it will be necessary to press a button on a steering wheel remote, in line with other in-car voice systems currently on the market.
