Method and system of building a grammar rule with baseforms generated dynamically from user utterances
View Patent ↗A method ( 200 ) of building a grammar with baseforms generated dynamically from user utterances can include the steps of recording ( 205 ) a user utterance, generating ( 210 ) a baseform using the user utterance, creating or adding to ( 215 ) a grammar rule using the baseform, and binding ( 230 ) the grammar rule in a grammar document of a voice extensible markup language program. Generating a baseform can optionally include introducing a new element to VoiceXML with attributes that enable generating the baseform from a referenced recording such as the user utterance. In one embodiment, the method can be used to create ( 235 ) a phonebook and a grammar to access the phonebook by repeatedly visiting a form containing the grammar rule with attributes that enable generating the baseform from the referenced recording.
1. A method of building a grammar with baseforms generated dynamically from user utterances, comprising the steps of:
recording a user utterance;
generating a baseform using the user utterance, the step of generating a baseform comprising introducing a new element to a voice extensible markup language (VoiceXML) with attributes that enable generating the baseform from a referenced recording;
performing at least one of creating a grammar rule using the baseform and adding to a grammar rule using the baseform;
binding the grammar rule of the performing step in a grammar document of a VoiceXML program; and,
creating a user-accessable application and a grammar to access the application by repeatedly visiting a form containing the grammar rule with attributes that enable generating the baseform from the referenced recording.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the referenced recording comprises the user utterance.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the grammar rule is constructed using values of the attributes.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises the step of creating a grammar token when the new element is visited by a form interpretation algorithm.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the method further comprises the step of controlling a composition of the grammar rule as the grammar token is added to the grammar rule.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises the step of creating a phonebook and a grammar to access the phonebook by repeatedly visiting a form containing the grammar rule with attributes that enable generating the baseform from the referenced recording.
