Hi, I think this issue is more related to speech recognition servers than to VoiceXML. It can be achieved by adding additional platform specific built-in types in system and reference them using VoiceXML. So It may not be required to add a additional built-in type. It would be even harder to come up with a correct built-in grammar given that these phonetic alphabet may not be popularly used as an standard by everyone. A platform specific built-in type grammar which could support such a thing could easily treat the result as if it was uttered properly. I think most speech recognition engine have support for implementing it. Thanks, Mukul Jain mujain@cisco.com Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2002 13:01:16 +0200 Subject: ASR without underlying grammar? Hi, as far as I understood the specification, there is no possibility to have ASR without specifying an active grammar in VoiceXML. What if the author cannot provide a grammar, in cases where the input can't be constrained? (e.g. when giving proper names) Does VoiceXML deal with that problem? As a solution, the user could spell the name out, using a built-in grammar for a phonetic alphabet ("Andrew, Benjamin, Charlie" etc., or anything equivalent for a specific language), and the Voice Browser could nevertheless treat the result as if it was uttered properly.
