Today, we are pleased to present a new Speech Recognition Connector for Google ASR.
Previously, in 2010, we had added a Text-to-Speech Connector for Google TTS, named CURL and already available for VXI* platforms.
Online Speech Recognition services are becoming very interesting for mobile phones and applications like Apple Siri (iOS) and Google Voice (Android). Obviously, these services over the Cloud don’t provide a realtime speech recognition and require an internet access to work but you get easily all speech recognized words in a simple text chain from a pre-recorded message. This approach is more and more accepted by users thanks to the iPhone 4S experience with Siri. Of course, the grammar structure is not really powerful compare to a VoiceXML-ASR realtime integration but for trainings and demo services, it could be very useful. Now, you can use Google TTS/ASR from VXI* to develop a smart VoiceXML phone service.
VoiceXML Code Example:
Downloads:
Warnings:
- Google ASR is an online free service for now.
- Future availability is under Google terms and conditions.
- An Internet access is required for each speech recognition request.

To create amazing services that provide significant value added you have to break barriers. Today’s example shows how you can connect two very different technology environments, a Flash application and a Telephony service. Have you ever think about it before? It’s something you can do thanks to our ultimate Xtras* Flash/RTMP server channel for VXI* over Asterisk. This RTMP channel is a small Flash server which can connect a phone number through VoiceXML to a Flash applet. For example, a user can call with his own phone to move a paddle using the keypad of a Pong video game coded in Flash. No specific telephony developments are required.
There’s hundred of business opportunities that could require to connect a Flash service and Telephony to get feedback from consumers.
What for:
- Interactive Outdoor Advertising
- Dynamic Marketing (video, flash, TV displays, shopping carts,…)
- Live Shows (discotheque, live concerts,…)
- Public Trade Shows (video presentations,…)
- Payments by phone for online flash app. or contents
- Advertising Displays (shops, booths, …)
Flash channels:
- RTMP Video IN/OUT
- RTMP Audio IN/OUT
- DTMF

A ringback tone is an audible indication that is heard on the telephone line by the caller while the phone they called is still in use. It is normally a repeated tone, designed to assure the calling party that the called party’s line is ringing, although the ring-back tone may be a song or now any dynamic voice content.
The ultimate VXI* VoiceXML browser 6.0 is able to execute a VoiceXML session during ringback tone for your phone services. Now you can provide information or get caller ID during all ringback tone with or without call pikup. You can also create personalized contents for each caller.

- Text-to-Speech or pre-recorded contents
- Easy to configure with VXML accounts
- Callback services (thru VoiceXML)
- No costs for callers!
Requirements:
- Asterisk 1.4 / 1.6 / 1.8

Since latest 5.X releases, all VXI* platforms can add a new Xtras* MRCP Client interface to run any VoiceXML Standard Speech Recognition Application over Asterisk
VXI* The VoiceXML Browser for Asterisk includes for free a new Xtras* Extension for UniMRCP project. UniMRCP is the open source cross-platform MRCP project, which provides everything required for the implementation and deployment of both an MRCP client and an MRCP server. UniMRCP encapsulates SIP/MRCPv2, RTSP, SDP and RTP/RTCP stacks and provides integrators with an MRCP v1 and v2 user level API.
We are pleased to announce the VXI* / UniMRCP interoperability to easily create advanced multimedia VoiceXML applications over Asterisk. The uniMRCP Client interface allows now to connect your favorite Speech Recognition Engines from big vendors using their own MRCP server without any additional cost.
MRCP/ASR Servers for VXI*:
- Loquendo
- Lumenvox
- Nuance
- Vestec
- Telisma
