Voicemarking
Also known as: Voice Bookmark, Speech-Based Bookmark
A speech-based technique for creating and retrieving semantic bookmarks in assistive web browsers. Users create voicemarks by speaking the name of a concept (e.g., "Major Headlines") and optionally a keyword, allowing them to later jump directly to that content on any website within the same domain by speaking the voicemark name. Voicemarking combines personalization with speech interaction, enabling blind users to build efficient navigation shortcuts that survive page redesigns and work across multiple websites. The technique was developed as part of the HearSay assistive browser and represents an integration of semantic bookmarking with voice-controlled web navigation.
