Browse without Browser!!!

I was always under the impression that we cannot browse the internet without the browser but this is not the case in reality. We can browse without any browser!!! and a patent has been awarded for this innovative idea!.

The method uses a telephone device to browse. It begins by connecting the telephone device to the server. The server will have a speech recognition software installed in it which will recognize the user's voice and converts it into command and searches the internet based on the input and it will give back the output which will be read to the user by another software which is able to recognize the content. This method has an option for the user to ask the server to fax a copy of the webpage to him. A detailed description of this method can be find here

hmm, but I thought you could browse the web without a browser anyway: curl, lynx(yeah a shell based browser), wget.
or do you mean browsing the web without being in front of a computer or using the mobile's browser? interesting patent though :-)
