Abstract

There is provided a new and useful Internet Voice (IVB) to allow users to navigate, and to be “read” information from, the Web using a voice interface. The IVB reads, translates, and organizes HTML content into Voice XML (VXML), which provides a voice interface to read and interact with Web pages. When a user accesses a Web page, the IVB parses the HTML page, organizes the data into content and links, and then translates it into VXML to facilitate navigation over a phone device. In this manner, Web pages with HTML content can be accessed with a phone device without using a Personal Computer.

Claims

Receiving a request via the stationary phone or cellular device;

retrieving a network-based document formatted for display in a visual browser;

extracting content from the document;

converting the parsed content into a VXML format and audibly presenting the content.
