Abstract
A speech-based method of searching for network content is disclosed. The method includes receiving, at a portable communication device, speech input containing a keyword. Data representative of the speech input is then sent by the portable communication device to a server. The method further includes receiving, at the portable communication device, information relating to a plurality of candidate results corresponding to the keyword. A list of selectable links through which network-based content associated with the plurality of candidate results may be accessed is then displayed through an interface of the portable communication device.
