Abstract

Methods and systems for providing access to stored audio data include a convenient syntax that facilitates control of an audio server. The methods and systems are capable of playing provisioned sequences of audio data to end users, where the provisioned sequences are identifiable using a unique audio identifier. A set data structure provides access to stored audio data using a unique audio identifier and a selector for choosing a member within a set. Function and navigation keys allow end users to control playback of audio, recording of speech, and collection of digits.
