A flexible VXML interpreter for non-visual web access

VoiceXML (VXML) is a W3C’s standard for specifying interactive dialogs. It finds multiple uses in various Web applications. VXML can also be used in non-visual Web browsing. There is no suitable, complete, open-source, flexible VXML interpreter to process VXML dialogs. My project is focusing on developing a VXML interpreter, VXMLSurf, that will be fully compliant with VXML 2.0 specifications and geared toward accessing Web content. VXMLSurf implements a number of extended features that provide blind users with more control over interactive browsing dialogs. VXMLSurf is a part of the HearSay project for developing a non-visual Web browser. The goal of the project is to make the Web more accessible for blind people.
