LRRP SpeechWebs

This paper describes a new architecture for access-ing hyperlinked speech-accessible knowledge sources that are distributed over the Internet. It differs from the use of speech interfaces to conventional web html pages; from conventional telephone access to remote speech applications (as used in many call centers); and from the use of a network of hyperlinked VXML pages. The architecture is ideally suited for use when cell-phones become available with built-in speech-to-text and text-to-speech capabilities
