Implementation of Voice Guidance Function for Sightseeing Contents Using Web Speech API

摘要

In our previous work, we proposed a new concept of 'universal multimedia access' to narrow the digital divide by providing appropriate multimedia expressions according to users' (mental and physical) abilities, computer facilities, and network environments. In our approach, multimedia contents are presented to support such functions as user interface switching, media switching and QoS (Quality of Service) switching. Our concept has been implemented as some multimedia contents in order to introduce sightseeing areas supported by 9 user interfaces in HTML5 and Java Script. However, we have not discussed about audio contents and voice operation. In this paper, we introduce a voice guidance function to our sightseeing contents by using Web Speech API.
