Abstract

A method for performing a construction quantity takeoff estimate of a drawing representative of a construction project having a plurality of items includes applying first vocal indicia representative of a selected item of the plurality of items to a voice recognition system and producing and first electrical signals representative of the first vocal indicia by the voice recognition system. The selected item is first determined by the voice recognition system in accordance with the first electrical signals. Second vocal indicia representative of a quantity of the selected item are applied to the voice recognition system and second electrical signals representative of the quantity of the selected item are produced. The quantity of the selected item is second determined by the voice recognition system in accordance with the second electrical signals. The takeoff estimate is performed in accordance with the first and second determining.
