Abstract

This paper proposes a multimodal interaction API (MMI-API) and a library for the development of web-based multimodal applications. The API and library enable us to embed synchronized multiple inputs/outputs into an application, as well as to specify concrete speech inputs/outputs and actions of dialogue agents. Because the API and the library are provided for JavaScript, which is a commonly used web-development language, they can be executed on general web browsers without having to install special add-ons. The users can therefore experience multimodal interaction simply by accessing a web site from their web browsers. In addition to presenting an outline of the API and the library, we offer a practical example of the use of the multimodal interaction system, as applied to an English pronunciation training application for Japanese students.
