Abstract: A voice control method and a computer program product, in particular for controlling a personal computer, a smartphone, an onboard computer of a vehicle, or other devices, wherein it is determined whether a control request can be determined from spoken language that is recorded by means of a recording apparatus and processed by a voice detection apparatus, wherein a voice control apparatus is operated by software, which can be changed by at least one piece of expansion software, which is provided for downloading from a server. The voice control apparatus includes an apparatus for changing the software, which, provided that it has been established that the voice control apparatus is not set up to determine and process the control request, checks if the voice control apparatus can be set up to determine and to process the control request by means of the at least one piece of expansion software.

Abstract: A voice output is produced by a speech dialog device between the acquisitions of two pieces of information. Each piece of information is acquired by acquiring natural verbal voice input data and extracting the respective piece of information from the voice input data using a speech recognition algorithm. When a repetition condition has been satisfied, a natural speech summary output is generated by the speech dialog device and output as a voice output which includes a natural voice reproduction of at least one previously acquired piece of information or a part of this piece of information or a piece of information derived from this piece of information.
