    Voice picking, or voice-directed warehousing (VDW), allows warehouse operatives to perform tasks through verbal commands, eliminating the need for handheld scanners or paper pick lists. Workers wear lightweight headsets connected to mobile devices that receive real-time instructions directly from the warehouse management system (WMS). Workers confirm each task vocally as they pick, pack, or replenish inventory, enabling seamless two-way communication.
