INTEGRATING SPEECH ENGINE WITH WEB NAVIGATOR

Abstract



Finding information on the web is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Fortunately there are stating points one can use. Tools are also available to help perform searches for specific data. It is the browser that helps communicate with the Internet world. A browser is a program that takes input as a page requested; interprets the text, formats the commands that the text contains, and displays the page properly formatted on the screen.



Web server serves static content to a web browser at a basic level. This means that the web server receives a request for a web page as requested through the browser. The web server is also called HTTP server because it responds to HTTP request. Web server allows you to serve contents over the Internet using the Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) and returns the appropriate HTML document.



Speech technology is becoming increasingly important in both personal and enterprise computing human interaction with computer. Speech technology allows hands free use of computers and supports access to computing capabilities away from the desk over the telephone.



Speech recognition and speech synthesis can improve computing accessibility for users with disabilities and can reduce the risk of repetitive strain injury and other problems caused by current interface. Voice Enabled Browser is one that performs all the activities of the Browser and includes the advanced technology mentioned above to have a fast and easy operation of Internet.



Our project aims at developing a Web Navigator and incorporating basic functions into it. After having done this, linking the browser to a speech engine namely IBM Via Voice.

The modules identified in this project are:

o Browser Window

o Browser Events

o Address verify and maintain favourates

o Voice Synthesizer
