More Information
Summary:The disclosed personal information management (PIM) system supports tasks and reminders via a audio user interface. The user creates a task object via a telephone call to the server. The task object may include an audio recording of the user's voice received during the telephone call. The system may convert the user's speech to text and may store the text in the task object. The system may include other structured data further defining the task such as calling party number, due date, start date, priority, status, percentage complete, categories, or the like. As stored by the system, the task may appear with the user's other tasks in the user's client. The PIM system may provide outbound telephone calls to the user as reminders associated with the user's tasks. The user receiving the reminder call may hear voice prompts, computer generated speech, and/or the audio recording associated with the task.
