Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing travel-related speech input is presented. A travel server receives a speech input corresponding to a travel-related task. The travel server then converts the speech input into data reflecting the travel-related task and accesses a database for stored information corresponding to the travel-related task. This stored information is returned to the source of the speech input.
