For
my project, I will be creating a multimodal sports
website based on XHTML+Voice technology. XHTML+Voice,
or X+V, is a combination of the XHTML and VoiceXML
standards that allow developers to write pages that
add speech recognition and text-to-speech to the
standard visual Web interface. This technology allows
for significantly improved user interface flexibility
over conventional Web pages. Using the IBM Multimodal
Browser plugin for Opera, I will create a sports site
that will leverage the ability to use combinations of
voice and visual input and output. For example, I
will allow for voice queries such as ?What is the
score of the Yankee game Also, I will develop a
demonstration of a gamecast using text-to-speech in
combination with the visual display to deliver a
superior method of presentation. This system will
provide a new level of interaction to this area with
an interface that uses the best aspects of both speech
and visual interfaces.
