A voice-enabled user interface and method for enabling a user that is providing audio and vocal input to access data from telephone service systems that are only responsive to dual tone multi-frequency (&ldquo;DTMF&rdquo;) signals. A user access the voice-enabled user interface with a telephone device and provides input that is translated into a DTMF translation that can be recognized by DTMF telephone service system. A template of the voice-enabled user interface maps menu states, prompts, and acceptable inputs of the DTMF telephone service system. The template also monitors the current state of the telephone service system at all times. The invention also enables a user to jump from one menu state to another menu state of the telephone service system without having to enter input for each menu state between the first and the second menu states.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing an audio interface to electronic documents. An audio interface receives a request for electronic content from a client and retrieves the requested document. Next, the document is parsed to identify various elements, such as title, text, and links included in the document. Many of those providing electronic content include hierarchical indices to aid clients in finding documents covering a particular topic. The audio interface includes a facility to preserve, enhance, or create this hierarchical organization by mapping a document's text and links into a corresponding audio hierarchy. The client is then presented with various options from which to make a selection. Outside of this hierarchy, the client receives the document title, the number of links contained within the document, an audio representation of the document's text, and may optionally chose to hear only the links included in the document. The audio interface also includes a number of global commands to facilitate navigation.
