ABSTRACT

In this demonstration we present a novel prototype system that implements a multi-modal interface for control of the television. This system combines the standard TV remote control with a dialog management based natural language speech interface to allow users to efficiently interact with the TV, and to seamlessly alternate between the two modalities. One of the main objectives of this system is to make the unwieldy Electronic Program Guide information more navigable by the use of voice to filter and locate programs of interest.
