Action	Voice Commands
Go to Probing Depth (PD) phase	“go to PD” • “start PD” • “go to probing depth” • “go to pocket depth” • “start probing depth” • “start pocket depth”

Go to GM phase + jump to a specific tooth	“go to GM [tooth#] e.g. “go to GM four””

3. Tooth & Site Navigation

Jump to any tooth or surface within the current phase. Site abbreviations: DB = distobuccal, MB = mesiobuccal, B = mid-buccal, DL = distolingual, ML = mesiolingual, L = mid-lingual.

Action	Voice Commands
Jump to a specific tooth (no site specified)	“go to [#]” • “tooth [#]” • “#[#]” • “tooth [spelled out] e.g. “go to 14” • “tooth 14” • “#14” • “tooth fourteen””

4. Entering Measurements (PD / GM)

Speak three values in sequence for each tooth (distobuccal – buccal – mesiobuccal, then distolingual – lingual – mesiolingual). Numbers can be spoken as digits or words. The word “to” is recognised as the number 2.

Action	Voice Commands
Enter three measurements at the current cursor position	“[#] [#] [#] e.g. “3 2 3” • “three two three” • “1 2 1” • “one two one””
Jump to a tooth and enter its measurements in one command	“tooth [#] [#] [#] [#] e.g. “tooth 5 three two three” • “tooth 14 4 5 3””
Use “to” as shorthand for 2 within a measurement string	““1 to 1” → enters [1, 2, 1] • “four to three” → enters [4, 2, 3]”
Repeat the previous tooth’s values for the next N teeth	“repeat [#] e.g. “repeat 3” • “repeat three” • “repeat five””
Repeat the previous tooth’s values for all remaining teeth	“repeat all”

5. Bleeding on Probing (BOP)

Mark bleeding at the current site, a named site, or an entire tooth. BOP can also be embedded within a measurement command by inserting “bleeding” at the appropriate position.

Enter measurements and mark BOP on all sites	““3 2 3 all bleeding””
Mark BOP + suppuration simultaneously on a specific tooth	“bleeding pus tooth [#] e.g. “bleeding pus tooth 14””

6. Suppuration

Mark suppuration (purulent exudate) at the current site, a named site, or a whole tooth. Both “pus” and “suppuration” are accepted.

Action	Voice Commands
Mark suppuration on the current cursor site	“pus”
Mark suppuration on all sites of the current tooth	“all pus”
Mark suppuration on a specific surface of the current tooth	“pus [site] e.g. “pus distobuccal””

Mark suppuration on a specific tooth + specific surface	“pus tooth [#] [site] e.g. “pus tooth 3 mesiobuccal””
Enter measurements and mark BOP + suppuration on a site	““1 bleeding pus 2 3” → BOP + suppuration on the 1st site”

7. Mobility

12. Speech Recognition — Homophone Reference

The system automatically resolves common speech-recognition mishearings to the correct clinical term. If a command isn’t registering, try speaking the word more clearly or use alternative phrasing.

Voice commands do not require exact wording — the system resolves close matches automatically. When in doubt, speak naturally using standard clinical terminology.
