Abstract
A method of speech-enabling a human-to-machine interface comprises uniquely identifying a plurality of input fields and corresponding input field identifications (IDs) associated with a human-to-machine interface. The method further comprises mapping the input field IDs to grammar slot names to produce a speech-to-field mapping. The grammar slot names may be associated with speech-to-text rendering of speech expected to be received by a speech-to-text renderer configured to output representations of the speech having correspondence with the grammar slot names. The method also comprises enabling a flow of representations of speech to the input fields via the speech-to-field mapping. The input fields may include interactive elements displayed on a screen view including at least one of radio buttons, text fields, buttons, and drop down menus. The human-to-machine interface may include at least one of a webpage, interactive software program, computerized input form, graphical user interface, visual display, or audio interface.
