Abstract

In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for creating a voice application, the method being implemented by a computer system and comprising generating a graphical user interface comprising a text-to-topic button; receiving first input identifying a location of a text file; receiving second input selecting the text-to-topic button; partitioning content associated with the text file into subjects in response to receiving the second input; and

storing information on the partitioning.

Claims

1. A computer readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a method comprising:

generating a graphical user interface comprising a text to topic button;

receiving first input identifying a location of a text file;

receiving second input selecting the text to topic button;

partitioning the text file into subjects in response to receiving the second input; and

storing information on the partitioning.

2. The computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein partitioning the text comprises associating a subject topic identifiable with each subject.

3. A system for creating a voice application, the system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions which when executed by the processor causes the system to perform a method for creating a voice application, the method comprising;

generating a graphical user interface comprising a text-to-topic button;

receiving first input identifying a location of a text file;

receiving second input selecting the text-to-topic button;

partitioning the text file into subjects in response to receiving the second input; and

storing information on the partitioning.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein partitioning the text comprises associating a subject topic identifier with each subject.
