Initial work focuses on speech-enabled browsing of the World Wide Web, which was never designed for such use. System design is complete, and is being evaluated via usability testing. date: 1999 date_type: published volume: X pagerange: 137-140 refereed: FALSE referencetext: [1] P. R. Cohen and S. L. Oviatt.
