Abstract

The main purpose of developing Talking Email powered by VoiceXML is to provide an alternative method for user to check for their emails no matter where they are, as long as they can make a telephone call. Current Interactive Voice Response (rvR) system is facing a very serious problem which is the ability of upgrading. I This conventional system need to be customized before its functionality can be expanded. It means that developers have to write a lot of code or restructure the entire system in order to get a simple function such as search engine in it. Because of that, World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) defined a suite of markup languages covering dialog, speech synthesis, speech recognition, can control and other aspects of interactive voice response applications, which was known as VoiceXML. VoiceXML is a dialog markup language that leverages the other specifications for creating dialogs that feature synthesized speech, digitized audio, recognition of spoken and DTMF key (touch tone) input, recording of spoken input, telephony, and mixed initiative conversations. A prototyping methodology will be used in the process of implementing this system. Because of limited time, this system provides some basic functionality such as retrieval of email and read out loud by the system, deletion of emails. Beside that, user able to customize their own email reader voice such as gender, volume, pitch baseline and speed. Currently, this system is only capable to perform the task using DTMF key. As a conclusion, the implementation of this system not only provides a quick and alternative way for user to manage their important emails, this system will definitely benefit the developer because it is extendibility and cost saving in maintenance and upgrading.
