Abstract
An operator assisted system helps a caller browse the World Wide Web without requiring the caller use a computer. The invention enables a caller on a POTS or cellular/wireless telephone connection to connect with an operator to search and select Web-based content. The invention collects desired search results and passes them to an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system for presentation to the POTS/Cellular caller. The invention facilitates high-quality search request interpretation and highly-efficient Web searches by a trained operator, using a visual PC based browser.
