Top German daily newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) has launched a web site that accepts verbal input and produces text-to-speech output.

Using automatic speech recognition, the site can be navigated using verbal commands such as "news" or "weather". Textual digital content can also be coverted into a spoken output, in an 'almost natural' human voice.

The system makes it possible to read information on the site by mobile telephone.
