Abstract

A system, method and computer program product are afforded for providing voice-enabled driving directions. Initially, an utterance is received representative of a flight identifier. Utilizing a speech recognition process, the utterance is then transcribed. Further, a database is queried for generating flight information based on the flight identifier.

Claims

1. A method for providing voice-enabled driving directions, comprising the steps of:

(a) receiving an utterance representative of a flight identifier;

(b) transcribing the utterance utilizing a speech recognition process; and

(c) querying a database for generating flight information based on the flight identifier.

2. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the utterance is received utilizing a network.

3. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the network includes the Internet.

4. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the flight information includes a time of arrival of the flight.

5. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the flight identifier includes a flight number.

6. A computer program product for providing voice-enabled driving directions, comprising:

(a) computer code for receiving an utterance representative of a flight identifier;

(b) computer code for transcribing the utterance utilizing a speech recognition process; and

(c) computer code for querying a database for generating flight information based on the flight identifier.

7. The computer program product as recited in claim 6, wherein the utterance is received utilizing a network.

8. The computer program product as recited in claim 6, wherein the network includes the Internet.

9. The computer program product as recited in claim 6, wherein the flight information includes a time of arrival of the flight.

10. The computer program product as recited in claim 6, wherein the flight identifier includes a flight number.

11. A system for providing voice-enabled driving directions, comprising:

(a) logic for receiving an utterance representative of a flight identifier;

(b) logic for transcribing the utterance utilizing a speech recognition process; and

(c) logic for querying a database for generating flight information based on the flight identifier.

12. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein the utterance is received utilizing a network.

13. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein the network includes the Internet.

14. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein the flight information includes a time of arrival of the flight.

15. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein the flight identifier includes a flight number.
