VOICE: A Framework for Speech-Based Mobile Systems

The advent of mobile phones and the Internet opened the doors for an emerging class of applications that connect mobile users to online resources and information services available anytime and anywhere. VoiceXML is an enabling technology for creating a streamlined speech-based interface for Web-based information services. In this paper, we describe VOICE, a framework used to develop mobile context-aware speech-enabled systems powered by VoiceXML. Restaurant search guide, a simple context-aware recommender system has been built using VOICE to test the feasibility of the proposed framework.
