Framework to enable multimodal access to applications

摘要

A technique to link an audio enabled device with a speech driven application without specifying the specific ones of the audio enabled device-independent, speech driven application-independent, and speech application platform independent parameters. In one example embodiment, this is accomplished by using voice framework that receives and transmits digitized speech audio without specifying the specific ones of the audio enabled device-independent and speech application platform-independent parameters. The voice framework then converts the received digital speech audio to computer readable text. Further, the voice framework receives and transmits the computer readable text to the speech driven application without specifying the specific ones of the speech driven application-independent and speech application platform-independent parameters. The voice framework then converts the computer readable text to the digital speech audio.
