Abstract

Even though computers operate at amazing speeds, data input into programs remains the rate-limiting step preventing many dairymen and veterinarians from adopting a computerized system. Keyboard entry of individual animal events into a computer program is extremely tedious, but present barcode and voice recognition technologies exist to ease this cumbersome task.
