“…Recognition grammars, or sets of rules defining user input languages, are derived from the Web pages and used to direct speech-recognition software, thereby improving speech-recognition accuracy. The Speech-Aware Multimedia (SAM) system, introduced in 1995 by Texas Instruments, [7] is an example that also allowed grammars (defined by application developers) to be associated with so-called "smart pages." When an end user downloads a smart page, the associated grammar tailors the speech interface to recognize utterances that are interpreted locally by the speech browser.…”

Imagine using your cell phone to navigate through a network of hyperlinked speech applications as rich and diverse as the visual applications on the conventional Web. On holiday at the beach, you could use it to navigate through a vendor's site for information on the new camera you're using to take snapshots of your friends. In the evening, by the fire, you could verbally browse a library of electronic stories, picking the one most appropriate for the moment. Imagine, too, being able to build speech applications and add them to a public-domain SpeechWeb as easily as you build and add pages to the conventional visual Web. You could have a speech-accessible resumé. Information (such as directions on how to get to your home) could be made available for your guests to access through hands-free speech in their vehicles. Companies (with the expertise) could create natural-language speech interfaces to their products and services, making them available to anyone, anywhere using a handheld SpeechWeb browser. Moreover, a public-domain SpeechWeb would allow blind users to participate more fully in our knowledge-based society.

“…A system developed at Texas Instruments [5], allows the user to access the WWW via a speech interface. However, the user must have access to a visual terminal not only to read the data being browsed, but to guide his or her Having audio as the target of a link is straightforward (that is what we find in the WWW nowa days).…”

This paper describes the idea of a wide area information system based entirely on audio information (Audioweb). We address two issues. First, we address the issue of adding hyperaudio links to audio documents non-intrusively (Le., without the need to modify the audio track). By doing so, audio documents can be linked together to form the AudioWeb. Secondly, we show how, based on the audio format discussed previously, a series of interfaces (browsers), that enable the user to navigate a web of audio documents, can be implemented.
