Abstract
A web-based voice dialog interface for use in communicating dialog information between a user at a client machine and one or more servers coupled to the client machine via the Internet or other computer network. The interface in an illustrative embodiment includes a web page interpreter for receiving information relating to one or more web pages. The web page interpreter generates a rendering of at least a portion of the information for presentation to a user in an audibly-perceptible format. A grammar processing device utilizes interpreted web page information received from the web page interpreter to generate syntax information and semantic information. A speech recognizer processes received user speech in accordance with the syntax information, and a natural language interpreter processes the resulting recognized speech in accordance with the semantics information to generate output for delivery to a web server in conjunction with a voice dialog which includes the user speech and the rendering of the web page(s). The output may be processed by a common gateway interface (CGI) formatter prior to delivery to a CGI associated with the web server.
