Voice Browser

A voice browser is a type of web browser that presents web content through speech output and accepts voice or keyboard input rather than relying on visual display. Voice browsers convert web page content to synthesized speech using text-to-speech technology, allowing users who are blind or have low vision to access the web without a visual display. Unlike screen readers that overlay visual browsers, voice browsers are designed from the ground up for audio interaction and may include features such as content segmentation, intelligent summarization, and dialog-based navigation to reduce the cognitive overhead of processing complex pages through audio alone. Standards like VoiceXML have been developed to support the creation of voice-browsable web content.
