Media Conversion from Visual to Audio: Voice Browsers

There is a large amount of information on the World Wide Web that is atthe fingertips of anyone with access to the internet. However, so far
this information has primarily been used by people who connect to the
web via traditional computer. This is about to change. Recent advances
in wireless communication, speech recognition, and speech synthesis
technologies have made it possible to access this information from any
place, and at any time. In this paper, we discuss voice browsers as
compared to current web browsers. Some of the primary techniques of
universal accessible design are listed with their relation to voice
browsers and some ideas are offered to help authors implementing these
considerations when designing web pages. The new voice markup language
is briefly discussed.
