Rosso ., P.; Hurtado Oliver, LF.; Segarra Soriano, E.; Sanchís Arnal, E. (2012 Question Answering is probably one of the most challenging tasks in the field of Natural Language Processing. It requires search engines that are capable of extracting concise, precise fragments of texts that contain an answer to a question posed by the user. The incorporation of voice interfaces to Question Answering systems adds a more natural and very appealing perspective for these systems. This paper provides a comprehensive description of current state-of-the-art Voiceactivated Question Answering systems. Finally, the scenarios that will emerge from the introduction of speech recognition in Question Answering will be discussed.
