Dynamically extending the speech prompts of a multimodal application

摘要

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.

1. A method of dynamically extending the speech prompts of
a multimodal application, the method comprising:
receiving, by a prompt generation engine, a media file having a metadata container, wherein the prompt generation engine operates on one or more voice servers;retrieving, by the prompt generation engine from the metadata container, a speech prompt related to content stored in the media file for inclusion in the multimodal application, wherein the speech prompt is an audio phrase played by the multimodal application, wherein retrieving a speech prompt includes retrieving a speech artifact having a grammar rule or a pronunciation rule and wherein retrieving a speech prompt includes retrieving a speech artifact having an XML document; andmodifying, by the prompt generation engine, the multimodal application to include the speech prompt.
