System and method for voice interaction with non-voice enabled web pages
View Patent ↗Systems and methods for voice interaction with non-voice enabled web pages and browsers are provided. A communication unit that does not provide for voice enabled web browsing can be provided with a hardware and/or software plug-in. The plug-in can receive non-voice enabled web pages, receive voice from a user of the communication unit and provide the voice to a speech recognition server. The plug-in receives corresponding text from the speech recognition server and provides the text to a non-voice enabled web browser to fill-in form fields with the corresponding text.
1. A method of filling-in a form field, the method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, a web page with at least one non-voice enabled form field, wherein the processor comprises a non-voice enabled web browser that configures the processor to process the web page and a speech recognition server that configures the processor to convert voice information to text;
receiving, by the processor, recorded voice information associated with one of the at least one non-voice enabled form field;
processing, by the speech recognition server, the recorded voice information; and
providing, by the speech recognition server to the web browser, text corresponding to the recorded voice information to fill-in the one of the at least one non-voice enabled form field.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying, by the processor, the at least one non-voice enabled form field; and
modifying an attribute of the at least one non-voice enabled form field.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the attribute of the at least one non-voice enabled form field is at least one of a font of text associated with the form field, a color of a line to visually identify the form field, a weight of the line to visually identify the form field, a color of the form field, and a symbol to visually identify the form field.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the web page is formatted using non-voice enabled hypertext markup language (HTML).
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying, by the processor, a type of the at least one non-voice enabled form field; and
providing a tag associated with the identified type of the at least one non-voice enabled form field to the speech recognition server.
6. A communication unit, comprising:
an audio input;
a transceiver; and
a processor coupled to the audio input and transceiver, the processor comprising:
audio receiving and transmitting logic that receives audio from the audio input associated with at least one non-voice enabled form field of a web page and provides it to the transceiver for transmission to a speech recognition server; and
text receiving and manipulating logic that receives text corresponding to the received audio and provides the received text to a non-voice enabled web browser to fill the at least one non-voice enabled form field.
7. The communication unit of claim 6 , further comprising:
a web page parsing and field attribute modification logic configured to receive a web page and identify a form field of the web page and a type of the form field,
wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmits a tag associated with the identified type of the form field to the speech recognition server.
8. The communication unit of claim 7 , wherein the web page is formatted using non-voice enabled hypertext markup language (HTML).
9. The communication unit of claim 7 , wherein the web page parsing and field attribute modification logic is further configured to modify an attribute of the form field.
10. The communication unit of claim 9 , wherein the attribute of the form field is at least one of a font of text associated with the form field, a color of a line to visually identify the form field, a weight of the line to visually identify the form field, a color of the form field, and a symbol to visually identify the form field.
11. The communication unit of claim 7 , wherein the audio receiving and transmitting logic, the text receiving and manipulating logic, and the web page parsing and field attribute modification logic are components of a plug-in module embedded in the communication unit.
12. The communication unit of claim 11 , wherein the plug-in module is a hardware module of the processor.
13. The communication unit of claim 11 , wherein the plug-in module is a software module executable by the processor to control the processor.
14. The communication unit of claim 6 , wherein the communication unit is a wireless communication unit.
15. The communication unit of claim 14 , wherein the transceiver is configured to communicate with a cellular macro network.
16. The communication unit of claim 14 , wherein a voice transport channel is setup using a push to talk signaling protocol.
17. The communication unit of claim 14 , wherein a voice transport channel is setup using a session initiation protocol.
