A voice browser is a web browser that presents an interactive voice user interface to the user. In addition, it typically provides an interface to the PSTN or a Private branch exchange PBX . Just as a visual web browser works with HTML pages, a voice browser operates on pages that specify voice dialogues. Typically these pages are written in VoiceXML , the World Wide Web Consortium W3C s standard voice dialog markup language, but other proprietary voice dialogue languages remain in use. A voice browser presents information aurally, using pre recorded audio file playback or using text to speech software to render textual information as audio. A voice browser obtains information using speech recognition and keypad entry e.g., DTMF detection . As speech recognition and web technologies have matured over the past decade, thousands of voice applications have been deployed commercially and voice browsers are supplanting traditional proprietary interactive voice response IVR systems. Scores of companies provide voice browsers. These take the form of software, packaged hardware software solutions or hosted solutions.

Orphan date February 2009 A SpeechWeb is a collection of hyperlinked speech applications, accessed remotely by speech browsers running on end user devices. Links are activated through spoken commands. The idea of surfing the World Wide Web web by voice dates back to at least the work of Hemphill and Thrift in 1995 ref name HemphillThrift1995 Hemphill, C.T. and Thrift, P. R. Surfing the Web by Voice Proceedings of the third ACM International Multimedia Conference San Francisco 1995 , Year 1995, Pages 215 222. ref who developed a system in which, HTML pages were downloaded and processed on client side computers enabling voice access to web page content, and activation of hyperlinks through spoken commands. Also in the mid 90 s, researchers at AT&T were discussing the development of a new markup language that would enable the web to be accessed through regular phones. From 1995 to 1999, AT&T , Lucent , Motorola , and IBM all developed their own versions of phone and speech markup languages. These companies created the http www.voicexml.org VoiceXML Forum , and jointly designed the Voice Markup Language, VoiceXML VXML , which was accepted by the W3C Committee in 2000. VXML is typically used to create hyperlinked speech applications ref name Lucas2000 Lucas, B. VoiceXML for Web based distributed conversational applications. Commun. ACM 43, 9, Year 2000, Pages 53 57. ref . VXML pages include commands for prompting user speech input, invoking recognition grammars, outputting synthesized voice, iterating through blocks of code, calling local JavaScript, and hyperlinking to other remote VXML pages downloaded in a manner similar to the linking of HTML pages in the conventional Web. Around the same time as the emergence of VXML , a http www.myspeechweb.org research group at the University of Windsor in Canada were developing an alternative approach in which speech applications deployed on the web can be accessed by client side speech browsers which provide the speech recogniti ... more details

Speech Synthesis Markup Language SSML is an XML based markup language for speech synthesis applications. It is a recommendation of the W3C s voice browser working group. SSML is often embedded in VoiceXML scripts to drive interactive telephony systems. However, it also may be used alone, such as for creating audio books. For desktop applications, other markup languages are popular, including Apple Inc. Apple s embedded speech commands, and Microsoft Microsoft s Speech Application Programming Interface SAPI Text to speech TTS markup, also an XML language. SSML is based on the Java Speech Markup Language JSML developed by Sun Microsystems , although the current recommendation was developed mostly by speech synthesis vendors. It covers virtually all aspects of synthesis, although some areas have been left unspecified, so each vendor accepts a different variant of the language. Also, in the absence of markup, the synthesizer is expected to do its own interpretation of the text. So SSML is not a strict standard in the sense of C programming language C , or even HTML . Example Here is an example of an SSML document source lang xml ?xml version 1.0 ? speak xmlns http www.w3.org 2001 10 synthesis xmlns dc http purl.org dc elements 1.1 version 1.0 metadata dc title xml lang en Telephone Menu Level 1 dc title metadata p s xml lang en US voice name David gender male age 25 For English, press emphasis one emphasis . voice s s xml lang es MX voice name Miguel gender male age 25 Para espa ol, oprima el emphasis dos emphasis . voice s p speak source See also Pronunciation Lexicon Specification Pronunciation Lexicon Specification PLS Speech Recognition Grammar Specification Speech Recognition Grammar Specification SRGS Semantic Interpretation for Speech Recognition Semantic Interpretation for Speech Recognition SISR SABLE speech synthesis markup language, intended to combine SSML, STML, and JSML External links http www.w3.org TR 2004 REC speech synthesis 20040907 W3C SSML 1.0 Recom ... more details
