Methods and systems for speech-enabling a human-to-machine interface

摘要

Generally, human-to-machine interfaces are configured to accept speech input from a user. However, such interfaces, e.g., web browsers, must be configured to enable acceptance of speech input from the user. Some interfaces, such as mobile browsers, have less configuration adaptability and are not able to be configured to accept speech input from a user. Embodiments of the present invention speech-enable human-to-machine interfaces by loading content of the human-to-machine interface and adding logic configured to enable speech interaction with the content to the interface. The embodiment then activates speech interaction with the content via the logic for the user. Thus, embodiments of the present invention enable speech interaction with interfaces that are not configured to be adapted to allow speech interaction and are able to enable the speech interaction in a seamless manner.

主权项

1. A method for speech-enabling a human-to-machine interface, the method comprising:
by a processor,
loading content of the human-to-machine interface;adding logic configured to enable speech interaction with the content to the interface;presenting the content to a user of the interface; andactivating speech interaction with the content via the logic for the user; the logic including:
uniquely identifying a plurality of input fields and corresponding input field identifications (IDs) associated with the content;mapping the input field IDs to grammar slot names to produce a speech-to-field mapping, the grammar slot names associated with speech-to-text synthesis of speech expected to be received by the logic and outputting representations of the speech having correspondence with the grammar slot names; andenabling a flow of representations of speech to the input fields via the speech-to-field mapping.
