\uD83D\uDCCB What’s about

In this section, you can find the blocks used for voice-to-text functions.

  • Label: here you can type a brief description

  • Key: your acquired license key from the console.developers.google.com account

  • Language: the language you want to use for the translation

  • Timeout: maximum recording duration in seconds. If -1 the considered timeout is unlimited

  • Interrupt Key: special digits to exit the current recorded call

  • Beep: to reproduce a beep before to record

  • Record Speech: select if you want to save the voice recording used by Google ASR to turn it into text on XCALLY. Recordings will be saved in Recordings

  • Number of seconds of silence: the number of seconds of silence that are permitted before passing through the next block, regardless of the interrupt key or timeout

Info

Please note Google ASR require a valid key from the console.developers.google.com website and a sufficient amount of acquired credits. Furthermore, it is purely experimental and it can bring unexpected behavior.

The ASR saves the results in two-channel variables:

  • GOOGLE_ASR_TRANSCRIPT: the result of the dictation recognition

  • GOOGLE_ASR_CONFIDENCE: the precision of the recognition, between 0 and 1. Usually, values above 0.8-0.9 mean that the dictation has been correctly recognized.

  • Label: here you can type a brief description

  • Grammar: The grammar that should be used for the recognition. Grammars can be specified as text/XML inline for built-in grammars or by using a reference to an external file/URI.

If you need to use the multiple grammar, the value of the first grammar must be separated from the second one using a character defined (e.g.: grammar-a%grammar-b, defining the % as a delimiter in the options field gd):

LumenVox provides the following built-in grammars:

  

URI

  

  

Sample Input

  

  

Semantic Interpretation Result

  

  

builtin:grammar/boolean

  

  

"yes",  "no thank you", etc.

  

  

"true" or  "false"

  

  

builtin:grammar/date

  

  

"january  thirteenth" or "december first two thousand"

  

  

"????0113"  or "20001201"

  

  

builtin:grammar/digits

  

  

"one two three  four"

  

  

"1234"

  

  

builtin:grammar/currency

  

  

"eighteen dollars  and four cents"

  

  

"USD18.04"

  

  

builtin:grammar/number

  

  

"four hundred  point five"

  

  

"400.5"

  

  

builtin:grammar/phone

  

  

"area code eight  five eight seven oh seven oh seven oh seven"

  

  

"8587070707"

  

  

builtin:grammar/time

  

  

"six o  clock" or "five thirty p m"

  

  

"0600?" or  "0530p"

  

Options:

Options control details about the recognition. Valid options are:

  • p - Profile to use in mrcp.conf

  • i - Digits to allow recognition to be interrupted with. Set this to "none" to allow LumenVox to process the DTMF using a DTMF grammar. Otherwise, if "any" or other digits specified, recognition will be interrupted and the digit will be returned to dialplan.

  • f - Filename to play while recognition occurs (if empty or not specified, no file is played)

  • t - The recognition timeout (in milliseconds). This is the total amount of time a caller has to speak.

  • b - Barge-in value (no barge-in=0, ASR engine barge-in=1, Asterisk barge-in=2). LumenVox strongly recommends allowing the ASR to perform barge-in instead of Asterisk.

  • gd – The grammar delimiter. Defaults to a comma.

  • ct - The confidence threshold (0.0 - 1.0). If a recognition result has a confidence score below this value, it will be returned as "no match." Defaults to 0.5.

  • sl - The barge-in sensitivity level (0.0 - 1.0). The higher this number, the easier it is to barge-in. Defaults to 0.5.

  • sva - Speed vs. accuracy, set on a scale of 0.0 - 1.0. The higher this number, the faster (and less accurate) recognitions will be. Defaults to 0.5.

  • nb - N-best list length. Defaults to 1; increase this value if you wish to get more answers back from the recognizer.

  • nit - No input timeout. This is the amount of time the caller has to start speaking before the recognizer returns a no-input result.

  • sct - Speech Complete Timeout. This is the amount of time, in milliseconds, LumenVox must detect silence after a user stops speaking before the recognizer begins processing the utterance. Set this lower for single word utterances and higher for longer utterances. In most cases, a value of 800 is correct.

  • dit - DTMF interdigit timeout

  • dtt - DTMF terminate timout

  • dttc - DTMF terminate characters

  • sw - Save Waveform (true/false)

  • nac - new audio channel (true/false)

  • spl - speech language (en-US/en-GB/etc.). If a language is declared in a grammar (it should be) this will be ignored.

  • cdb - clear DTMF buffer (true/false)

  • mt - media type

  • iwu - input waveform URI (only applies to MRCPv2). Not supported by LumenVox.

  • sint - Speech Incomplete Timeout. Not supported by LumenVox.

  • rm - Recognition Mode. Not supported by LumenVox.

  • hmaxd - hotword max duration. Not supported by LumenVox.

  • hmind - hotword min duration. Not supported by LumenVox.

  • enm - early no match (true/false). Not supported by LumenVox.

You are not required to supply any options. Multiple options can be provided by joining options with an ampersand, e.g. f=sayHelloWorld&t=5000

◾ TildeASR

This box allows you to do a voice-to-text conversion using the Tilde ASR Agi* Parameters

The ASR saves the results in two-channel variables:

  • TILDE_ASR_TRANSCRIPT: the result of the dictation recognition

  • TILDE_ASR_CONFIDENCE: the precision of the recognition, between 0 and 1. Usually values above 0.8-0.9 means that the dictation has been correctly recognised.

  • TILDE_ASR_STATUS: the response status (integer)

  • TILDE_ASR_STATUS_MESSAGE: the response status message

TILDE_ASR_STATUS

TILDE_ASR_STATUS_MESSAGE

0

Success

1

No speech. Sent when the incoming audio contains a large portion of silence or non-speech

2

Aborted. Recognition was aborted for some reason.

9

Not available. Max load limit reached.

10

Authentication failed.

11

All recognition workers are currently in use and real-time recognition is not possible.

Note

Attention:

The variables TILDE_ASR_TRANSCRIPT and TILDE_ASR_CONFIDENCE are available just when TILDE_ASR_STATUS is equal to 0
