ABSTRACT:
Improved approaches to accessing information are disclosed. The improved approaches permit access to information through user interaction with a series of menus. The menus within the series of menus are interrelated and contain words or phrases. A phrase, sentence or question is constructed from the user interaction with the series of menus. The resulting phrase, sentence or question can be processed to access and retrieve appropriate information. The improved approaches avoid the need for users to enter words or text characters through tedious and frustrating use of a keypad (particularly when reduced in size).
