2.2.10-5 Activation and Deactivation

Speech recognition systems should have an external, non-speech means of activation and deactivation (e.g., PAUSE and CONTINUE options) so that conversation between users is not taken as command input.

Additional Information:
If possible, a standby mode should be provided from which spoken commands to activate/deactivate may be invoked. External, non-speech means of activation and deactivation can include use of a keyboard.
