Wireless access to the internet has emerged as a potential "killer application" which will demand sophisticated spoken language technology in order to realize its full potential. There are many challenges that must be met to make the "Voice Web" a reality - recognition technology, network infrastructure, new devices, and the development of new user interface paradigms. The Voice Web offers an opportunity to create a unified user interface to the entire world of services and communications. This talk will present the challenges presented by the Voice Web from the user interface perspective, and describe Voyager, a voice browser developed by Nuance Communications.
