Similar in functionality to PC-based web browsers, a voice browser is designed to standardize the user interface and experience for consumers browsing voice-driven content and services on the Voice Web. In contrast to a "traditional" web browser, which resides as a client on a user's PC, a voice browser operates in a centralized server, which houses the voice resources to speak out or listen for VoiceXML-tagged content. The user's phone, in this context, is analogous to a keyboard and mouse in relation to a browser, and is used to transfer user responses.

A voice browser is a web browser that presents an interactive voice user interface to the user. In addition, it typically provides an interface to the PSTN or a PBX. Just as a visual web browser works with HTML pages, a voice browser operates on pages that specify voice dialogues.
