GETTING THE WORD TO THE WORLD WIDE WEB
Motorola, SAP, Visa, Broadvision, and the Nuance Communications unit of SRI
International have formed an alliance to extend the Voice Markup Language
(VoxML) speech recognition standard to various commercial applications.
Called V-Commerce, the new standard will allow people to use voice commands
to interact with the World Wide Web or corporate Intranets via phone, pager,
or personal computer.  Nuance chief executive Ron Croen says, "So far,
electronic commerce has been constrained by the PC.  We're intent on making
the audience larger by an order of magnitude."  Visa has created some
prototype applications for financial services, including credit card
activation, lost and stolen card replacement, travel planning, voice
banking, and bill payment.  (New York Times 6 Oct 98)
