A method (10) for arranging user-modified variable names in a presentation list such as a drop-down list can include the steps of receiving (12) a system request to display the variables in the drop-down list, and sorting (14) the variables by giving user named variables greater priority over system named variables and then sorting by a second criteria. The method can further include the step of displaying (16) the variables when a user selects the variables using a drop-down control.

A call completion system, method and apparatus for integrated directory assistance and voice activated dialing based upon call transfer rules. In accordance with the present invention, a call completion system can include a set of call transfer rules implicating one of a directory assistance interface and a voice activated dialer interface. The system further can include a call completion processor configured to select one of a directory assistance interface and a voice activated dialer interface based upon an evaluation of the call transfer rules for an incoming query.

A method (10) of developing call flows can simply include a determination (12) whether an alternative speech field is filled. If the alternative speech field is not filled, then the description text is used (16) in a description field as a default for text for speech output. The description field can be presented graphically and in a properties sheet for speech output objects. If an optional speech text field is filled in the properties sheet, then the description text in the description field can be replaced (14) with the contents of the optional speech text field for text to speech output. The contents of the optional speech text field (32) can be represented as a flyover (23) graphically when pointing to the graphical object. Optionally, the description field (34) and the optional speech text field can be edited on a single graphical user interface (20).
摘要:
A method, system and apparatus for automatically capturing intonation cues in audio segments in speech applications. The method can include identifying planned audio segments in the speech application program, the audio segments containing audio text to be recorded and associated file names. The method further can include extracting the audio segments from the speech application program and processing the extracted audio segments to create an audio text recordation plan. Finally, the method can include further processing the audio text recordation plan to account for intonation cues.

A method (10) of arranging grammar files in a presentation list such as a drop-down list can include the steps of receiving (12) a system request to display the grammar files in the presentation list, and sorting (14) the grammar files by giving user defined grammar files greater priority over built-in grammar files and then sorting by a second criteria. The method can further include the step of displaying (16) the grammar files when a user selects the grammar files and distinguishing between a user defined grammar and a built-in grammar.
摘要:
A method for constructing speech elements within an interface can include a step of identifying a visual interface having multiple visual elements. Visual selectors can be presented proximate each of the visual elements. The visual selectors can permit a user to input a speech control type for the associated visual element. For each presented visual selector, a speech element having a speech control type specified in the visual selector can be automatically generated.

Embodiments in accordance with the invention can include a new method (500) and system (100) for testing code within a speech application. A test file (101) can be automatically generated to verify the functionality of a new section of code (172) presented within a graphical call flow builder application (156). In one arrangement, a user can specify through a wizard two points on a path identifying the code section to be tested. The wizard can generate a test file (101) and can configure a path (151) to a new subpath (152) and automatically assign predetermined values to graphical call flow prompts along the path. In this manner, the new code section is reached under the same path conditions for allowing repeatable testing. The system can include a test harness (110) configured to test a new code section from within a context of the speech application, and a test controller (120) for transitioning to the new code section. The test controller can run the test harness within the speech application to evaluate a functionality of the new code section.
摘要:
A method and system for addressing disambiguation issues in interactive applications by creating a disambiguation system for generating complex grammars that includes homonym detection and grouping, and provides optimization feedback that eliminates time-consuming and repetitive iterative steps during the grammar generation portion of the interactive application configuration.
摘要:
Improving speech capabilities of a multimodal application including receiving, by the multimodal browser, a media file having a metadata container; retrieving, by the multimodal browser, from the metadata container a speech artifact related to content stored in the media file for inclusion in the speech engine available to the multimodal browser; determining whether the speech artifact includes a grammar rule or a pronunciation rule; if the speech artifact includes a grammar rule, modifying, by the multimodal browser, the grammar of the speech engine to include the grammar rule; and if the speech artifact includes a pronunciation rule, modifying, by the multimodal browser, the lexicon of the speech engine to include the pronunciation rule.
摘要:
A method (10) in a speech recognition application callflow can include the steps of assigning (11) an individual option and a pre-built grammar to a same prompt, treating (15) the individual option as a valid output of the pre-built grammar if the individual option is a potential valid match to a recognition phrase (12) or an annotation (13) in the pre-built grammar, and treating (14) the individual option as an independent grammar from the pre-built grammar if the individual option fails to be a potential valid match to the recognition phrase or the annotation in the pre-built grammar.
