A method and systems to access information related to items printed on publications by voice commands generated by a user through a telephone. To access additional information, the user dials on a telephone the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) service identifier and the publication identifier. A publication link table is associated to the publication identifier and provides a list of the item names on the selected publication. The IVR recognizes the name of the item pronounced by the user and determines the address associated to this name. The proxy server accesses the information located at this address and forwards it to the IVR wherein it is converted by a text-to-speech for the user's telephone.
