ABSTRACT:
A method and system are disclosed for providing a dialog interface for a website. The method comprises at each node in a website, computing a summary, a document description and an alias. A dialog manager within a spoken dialog service utilizes the summary, document description and alias for each website node to generate prompts to a user, wherein nodes in the website are matched with user requests. In this manner, a spoken dialog interface to the website content and navigation may be generated automatically.
