A system and method provides a natural language interface to world-wide
web content. Either in advance or dynamically, webpage content is parsed
using a parsing algorithm. A person using a telephone interface can
provide speech information, which is converted to text and used to
automatically fill in input fields on a webpage form. The form is then
submitted to a database search and a response is generated. Information
contained on the responsive webpage is extracted and converted to speech
via a text-to-speech engine and communicated to the person.
