Abstract: A computing system for converting natural language spoken queries to a mobile computing device into structured queries to be executed against a structured data store to obtain an answer to the spoken query on the portable computing device is disclosed. The computer executable instructions may comprising instructions for accepting a verbal input, communicating the verbal input to a verbal to text translation application to obtain a text query where the text query is converted into a structured language query, the structured language query is executed against a structured data store, the results from the structured language query are generated, the results are converted into a desired format for the portable computing device and the result are received in the desired format to the portable computing device where the results are displayed in the desired format on the portable computing device.

Abstract: A method and system for providing distributing a query to devices on a communications network, such as servers on the internet, using an application that can survey a subscriber's server that can include text documents and databases, and use the formatting information and data from the survey to create at least one dictionary customized to the subscriber's data sources. A user seeking information can initiate a search or query from an initiating device using keywords, natural language terms, connectors, expressions, etc., and the query can be transmitted to various subscriber customized dictionaries. The customized dictionaries can customize the query based on respective subscriber databases and text documents, text search engines, etc., to produce an customized query result. The query results can be filtered and integrated for presentation to the initiating device. Search results can be customized using user preference or profile information.
