1. In a photographic camera including an optical lens, a photographic filmstrip transport mechanism for advancing the filmstrip in a path of travel to and through an image frame exposure gate with respect to said optical lens, and an exposure system for making an exposure of the filmstrip image frame in the exposure gate, apparatus for recording a voice message composed by the camera user related to the exposure made or to be made for playback in conjunction with making prints from the photographic images captured in the image frames of the filmstrip to provide for the printing of the voice message therewith comprising: speech input means into which a camera user may speak words of the message to be stored with respect to the filmstrip image frames; sound processing means for processing the words spoken into the speech input means as voice digital data; means for providing reference voice digital data corresponding to a reference word vocabulary; speech recognition means for comparing the processed voice digital data to the reference voice digital data and recognizing processed voice digital data corresponding to the reference voice digital data while rejecting voice digital data not finding correspondence with the reference voice digital data; message memory means having memory locations related to each image frame of the filmstrip for storing recognized voice digital data; and means for storing the recognized voice digital data in said message memory means, wherein said means for providing reference voice digital data corresponding to a word vocabulary further comprises: first vocabulary memory means for storing a fixed vocabulary of words that cannot be altered by the user; and second vocabulary memory means for storing a adjustable vocabulary of words selected by the user, wherein said first vocabulary memory means comprises a read only memory stored with said fixed vocabulary from which said fixed vocabulary may be read by said speech recognition means; and said second vocabulary memory means comprises a read and write memory into which said adjustable vocabulary may be written in and from which said adjustable vocabulary may be read by said speech recognition means; and further comprising interface mean for receiving said adjustable vocabulary from an external source and for writing said adjustable vocabulary into said second vocabulary memory means.
