ABSTRACT:
A voice command interface in a data processing system and method are implemented to allow a user to speak a name of a link identified by Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) format to receive a desired web page from a communication network, such as the Internet. During operation of the data processing system and method for implementing the voice command interface, a client computer accesses a current web page using a server. When a new web page is accessed, a central processing unit in the data processing system provides control signals to a speech recognition unit to clear a vocabulary list currently stored within the speech recognition unit. Subsequently, the central processing unit commences to parse the HTML source code corresponding to the accessed web page. The central processing unit then determines whether the accessed web page has any links therein. If the web page does have links, the central processing unit detects those links during a parsing operation and enables the speech recognition unit to stored the text displayed to an external user which corresponds to the link in a special vocabulary list of the speech recognition unit. A user is then able to provide a voice command to access the link by speaking the text stored within the special vocabulary list. Upon speaking that text, the central processing unit accesses a web page corresponding to the link identified by the text.
