Abstract: A prompt generation engine operates to dynamically extend prompts of a multimodal application. The prompt generation engine receives a media file having a metadata container. The prompt generation engine operates on a multimodal device that supports a voice mode and a non-voice mode for interacting with the multimodal device. The prompt generation engine retrieves from the metadata container a speech prompt related to content stored in the media file for inclusion in the multimodal application. The prompt generation engine modifies the multimodal application to include the speech prompt.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to call flow statistics generation systems and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for automatically generating a call flow statistics-generating application and presenting updated statistics on a call flow representation. Various statistics collection points are identified on the visual representation. Upon running of the voice application, call flow statistics are gathered and presented for each statistics collection point. Call identifiers corresponding to each call path can be selected and call paths corresponding to the selected call identifier may be highlighted and their call statistics displayed.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a concept and a use of audio anchors within voice-enabled interfaces. Audio anchors can be user configurable points from which audio playback occurs. In the invention, a user can identify an interface position at which an audio anchor is to be established. The computing device can determine an anchor direction setting, with values that include forward playback and backward playback. Interface items can then be audibly enumerated from the audio anchor in a direction indicated by the anchor direction setting. For example, if a set of interface items are alphabetically ordered items and if an audio anchor is set at a first item beginning with a letter “G” and an anchor direction is set to indicate backward playback, then the interface items beginning with letters “A-F” can be audibly played in reverse alphabetical order. Additionally, a rate of audio playback can be user adjustable.

Abstract translation: 本发明公开了在支持语音的接口内的音频锚的概念和用途。 音频锚点可以是发生音频播放的用户可配置点。 在本发明中，用户可以识别要建立音频锚的接口位置。 计算设备可以确定锚方向设置，其值包括前向播放和向后播放。 然后可以从锚定方向设置指示的方向从音频锚点可听见地列举接口项目。 例如，如果一组接口项是按字母排序的项目，并且如果音频锚点被设置在以字母“G”开始的第一项目，并且将锚定方向设置为指示向后播放，则以字母“ AF“可以以相反的字母顺序播放。 此外，音频播放速率可以是用户可调节的。

Abstract: A method for producing speech output can include the step of selecting a TTS output device from a plurality of available output devices. The selected output device can be associated with outputting content of an application responsive to a print command. According to the method, the print command can be detected, which results in the content of the application being conveyed to the selected TTS output device. The TTS output device can be associated with at least one text-to-speech engine. Upon content conveyance to the TTS output device, at least a portion of the content can be automatically converted using the text-to-speech engine. The speech converted content can be outputted.
