ViaVoice Telephony Run Time
ViaVoice Telephony Run Time provides a generalized phone recognition platform
capable of continuous command recognition and text-to-speech. The run time also
provides the ability for the application to run the ViaVoice speech recognition
engine on remote machines. By using remote speech recognition engines in this way
the load balancing, performance and availability of the system can be enhanced.
Included with the run time are the engine and data files necessary to develop
and support phone recognition and text-to-speech applications.
Specific functions include:
- Speech recognition models optimized for telephony both landline and cellular.
- Process manager. The process manager is responsible for launching, monitoring,
restarting and stopping all telephony processing. Other application modules can also
be scheduled using program manager.
- Run-time API's and libraries for Tcl and C++.
- A dictionary to generate pronunciations for new words or phrases.
- A component which automatically generates synthesized speech for any prompt not previously recorded.
- Sample grammars and their associated pronunciations. Grammars are provided for banking,
commands, dates, digits, natural numbers, times, voice mail, voice activated network control
and yes/no.
- A dynamic grammar compiler that adds words and phrases..
- Administration and monitoring utilities.
The ViaVoice Telephony Run Time engine also includes 1200 prerecorded prompts,
300,000 baseforms to reduce your development effort, and several software packages
needed to write and support phone recognition applications.
ViaVoice Telephony Tools
ViaVoice Telephony and strategic partner tools provide programmers
with the necessary tools to develop grammar-based phone recognition applications.
The Tools include:
- Web-Based Grammar Development and Administration Tools - An integrated set of
web pages that provide the ability to generate the resources (grammars, pronunciations,
and pool files) needed for the ViaVoice engine.
- Command-Line Grammar Development Tools - Utilities that generate grammars and pronunciations
for phone recognition applications.
- Command-Line Grammar Test Tools - Tools to assist in testing an application's grammar.
- Tcl and C++, API's and samples.
