IBM India has developed a new technology – HyperSpeech Transfer Protocol (HSTP) – that will enable users to ‘talk’ to the web. Similar to the hyperlink in regular web pages, a ‘hyperspeech’ will link to voice applications and you can navigate the web using voice instead of a mouse click. This could be a game changing technology just because this means that Internet could be accessed by non visual interfaces.
Especially in a country like India, where mobile based voice technology is much widely prevalent than computer based Internet. Imagine if users could talk into their phone and navigate across the site and other HSTP enabled links and applications. The potential for innovations if this technology becomes wide spread is simply mind boggling.
If you are interested in the research paper explaining the technical details of HSTP, you can find it here (PDF).
