Automated voice enablement of applications

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable by a service computing system to cause the service computing system to:

• receive application data of an application that is under development from an application developer computing system;
• aggregate static images of a graphical user interface of the application (GUI screens) that are contained within the application data;
• analyze each GUI screen to determine GUI screen navigational flow paths (flow paths);
• generate a flow path data structure comprising a list of the flow paths ranked by the number of edge objects comprised within the flow paths and comprising a list of edge objects within the flow paths ranked by the number of dependent edge objects;
• identify a first edge object within the flow path data structure as a select object;
• determine a word or phrase associated with the select object from characters that are displayed by the select object with a natural language processing system;
• determine synonyms to the word or phrase with the natural language processing system;
• generate a select object synonym data structure comprising the word or phrase and the synonyms to the word or phrase associated with the select object;
• create a voice user interface (VUI) select object data structure from the select object synonym data structure;
• send the VUI select object data structure to the application developer computing system to create an application with VUI modality;
• and
• wherein a first GUI screen navigational flow path is a first navigational sequence of GUI screens associated with a first set of user interactions with the GUI screens and a second GUI screen navigational flow path is a second navigational sequence of GUI screens associated with a second set of user interactions with the GUI screens.
