Abstract

Brazil began in 2007 a new phase in the transmission of terrestrial television: the deployment of Digital TV. Since the beginning, the Brazilian proposal has made it clear its association with digital inclusion as it arose a need of ensuring full accessibility and usability for users of terrestrial TV, among them individuals with special needs. It is in that context that emerges as an alternative the use of voice commands as a means of integrating these users. Using technologies such as voice gateway and VoiceXML language for voice interaction and Ginga as a platform for Digital TV, this work presents two architecture proposals to integrate these two technologies.
