Abstract
Method for representing a target software application program to a voice recognition navigator program on a computer system. The method requires analyzing an application program to determine a plurality of application states. Each of the application states is defined as a set of window objects within the application for performing a specific user task. According to the invention, each of the application states is preferably represented by a sub-context tree, comprised of a plurality of sub-context objects. The tree allows the navigator to associate decoded spoken commands to specific window objects.
