Resumen de A vocal web for all
Hodson talks about a new Internet system that is giving a voice to people in Africa who cannot read or write or who lack a computer. A new voice-based web system could help, making it easier for illiterate people in Mali and other West Africannations to use the Internet. The project, sponsored by the European Commission, is called Voices and it has already been used to build an information system for farmers and as a platform for citizen journalism. The system is based on a programming language called VoiceXML, which lets users vocally control specially created web content. Malians can navigate by listening to options and pressing buttons on their phone.
