BY VOICE INCLUDE (YOUR SPOKEN WEB)

WHAT IS IT?

Our By Voice Include service allows your website’s contents to be spoken and heard by simply pushing a button. Users can also use voice to navigate your website’s links. All of this is possible by simply including a line of code in your website and marking the parts you wish to be read with metatags. You don’t need to install software in your server or have any programming knowledge.

HOW IT WORKS.

The service is based on a spider program that periodically follows websites that have contracted this service. In the same way you would make your website appear in search engines by adding a few metatags that orient the search engine’s spider program, you would do a similar thing to make it spoken.
The By Voice spider program detects the links for each URL as well as the information of the metatags related with the By Voice Include service and uses that information to update databases and audio files located in the By Voice servers. When a user visits a page that includes the By Voice Include service, the page automatically uploads a By Voice server script code that contains the procedures required for the services to become operational on that page.

For example, let’s suppose we have the following page: 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<bv-hablar>
Esto es una p&aacute;gina de prueba con tres links.
</bv-hablar>
<br>

<a href="link1.htm">Portada</a><br>
<a href="link2.htm">Volver</a><br>

   src="http://www.by-voice.com/external-includes/account_crawl.php?id=1">
</script>
<!-- Fin código de inclusión de By Voice Include -->
</body>
</html>

When the By Voice spider program visits the URL that contains this page, it will generate an audio file with the phrase, “This is a test page with three links”. In the place where the By Voice inclusion code appears there will also appear three buttons. When you push the first one, that phrase will be heard. When you push the second one, you will hear, "The applicable links are: Cover, Back, Continue". The third button is to silence the voice. User will be able to use their voices to speak any one of these links, and the page will respond exactly as if it had been prompted with the mouse.

ADVANTAGES.

By Voice Include service provides:
- Better usability on your website. Users will be free to access information more comfortably. For example, they might decide to listen to useful information while they are working on a document that requires that same information.
- A lower rate of defections from your website. One of the principle inroads on any site is through a search engine link. These users are looking for an answer to a question or a rapid summary of the site they are visiting. The use of voice technology lets those users evaluate your website without having to pay 100% attention. Thus, they are free to consult result lists on search engines, for example, and are less likely to leave your site because it is too long or tedious to read the information contained there.

- A low-cost, low-maintenance solution for improved accessibility to your site. Physically and visually disabled users will be able to access the contents of your site freely and comfortably.

Compare the cost of By Voice service with an estimated cost of losing customers in search engines and maintaining the site in accordance with W3C accessibility recommendations.
