Abstract

A system, method, and article of manufacture are provided for navigating an electronic data source by means of spoken language where a portion of the data link between a mobile information appliance of the user and the data source utilizes wireless communication. When a spoken input request is received from a user, it is interpreted. The resulting interpretation of the request is thereupon used to automatically construct an operational navigation query. The navigation query is routed to one or more agents, which use the navigation query to retrieve the desired information from one or more electronic network data sources.
