Toshiba Introduces Voice-Controlled A/C

Remember the clap-on, clap-off lights? Toshiba has taken wireless convenience to a new level by creating a voice controlled air conditioning system. The first of it's kind, the voice activated machine follows 21 basic phrases such as "start," "stop" and "cool breeze," among others. Aside from being a hands free, voice activated breakthrough, the system is also geared to conserve energy. The Toshiba group estimates that the monthly cost for this system is at a groundbreaking low of about $10/month, thanks to the dual compressor which utilizes the same energy a fan would use to power the central cooling. Add in tweaked plumbing and dehumidifiers and 45W energy usage, and you've cut back serious dollars and wattage.

We're excited to see how the Toshiba voice controlled air conditioner fairs as it enters the consumer market.
