The audio-wiki application allows the users to use the standard text messaging capability of the mobile phone (SMS) to request an article from the MobilED platform. This is done by entering a key word relating to the topic of interest, and sending the message to the phone number assigned to the MobilED platform. The service calls the user, and starts reading the Wikipedia article from the top, using interactive voice response (IVR) and text-to-speech (TTS) technologies.The service reads the article to the user using a synthesised (computer-generated) voice in combination with pre-recorded voice prompts, and accepts input from the user via DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency)/Touchtone key presses. Each article is broken up into sections (it uses the sections as they appear in the Wikipedia article) in order for the service to allow the user to navigate through the article or between related articles. A user also had the opportunity to contribute information to the information source (local Media-Wiki server) by recording his/her voice over the telephone and adding it to an existing article. This technology has been piloted at two schools. |
