    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for on-demand user-specific audio content. The system may include a telco interface, a content transformer, and interfaces to data providers. The telco interface may be configured to provide access to users over a public switched telephone network. A user may access the system utilizing a single telephone number, which may be toll-free to provide an easier method of accessing the system. As the system answers a call from a user, the telco interface may be further configured to provide an audio interface for users to interact with to access and to retrieve user-specific audio content from the system. With the audio interface, users may vocally request an item of information. Automated voice recognition units of the telco interface speech process the request into a speech data value, which is forwarded to the content transformer. The content transformer returns the corresponding audio content related to the speech data value, which is then replayed to users.
