Vocal interaction for information access4.2 Vocal interaction for information access
It is the view of the authors that for now, and some time to come, the Internet is likely to
constitute the most common route for information access, alongside the stored files and
archive of particular users. However it is accessing the vast and diverse World Wide Web
(WWW) that is likely to post the most technically challenging tasks for VI. It is feasible to
assume that the predominant graphical/textual nature of the current WWW is a natural
consequence of the graphical/textual bias of HTML, which is most of all due to the way in
which users are conditioned to interact with computers through KMM. If users commonly
interacted with the WWW in a vocal fashion then it is quite possible that voice-enabled
'pages' would appear. To date this has not been the case.
