Abstract
Methods and systems for providing a voice interface are disclosed. A classifier voice interface of a user terminal may receive a query, may parse the query to identify an attribute, and may process the query to select a first domain-specific voice interface of a plurality of domain-specific voice interface based on the attribute, wherein each of the domain-specific voice interface comprises specialized information to process queries of different types. The classifier voice interface may further instruct the first domain-specific voice interface to process the query.
