Abstract
A camera is targeted using voice recognition analysis. Audio information is received by a talker identification (TID) module from a microphone. The TID module automatically performs a voice recognition analysis on the audio information to uniquely identify which of a plurality of talkers is talking. The camera is automatically controlled to target a camera preset location corresponding to the talker identified to be talking.
