Research on voice browsing
Honglian Li, Baozong Yuan · 2004
The World Wide Web has become a major force in driving the economy and technology. In spite of the abundance of information freely available on the Web, the information is not accessible to everyone. There are a couple of reasons for this trend. Firstly, most of this information has primarily been used by and restricted to persons who connect and use the Web via a traditional computer. Thus access to Web information, for an increasing number of mobile device users, is very limited at this point. Secondly, most of the contents on the Web are in a format unsuitable for disabled people. Contents are either visually rich or highly structured. A good solution for this is to access the Web by voice, that is, voice browsing. In this paper we describe research work people have done on voice browsing and its future development.
