German paper launches talking web site
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.
