Abstract

We consider the task of retrieving online information in mobile environments. We propose question-answering as a more appropriate interface than page-browsing for small displays. We assess different modalities for communicating using a mobile device with question-answering systems, focusing on speech. We then survey existing research in spoken information retrieval, present some new findings, and assess the difficulty of the endeavor.
