A speech grammar defines the list of phrases or options that the caller can input when they use your application. You might use a voice speech grammar to tell your application which words or phrases might be used by the caller, to help the application determine how the call should be routed.

For example, an automotive company might upload a speech grammar that contains phrases that a caller might use when they contact the company, such as "I want the parts department" or "I am interested in buying a new car." Your application can use these phrases to determine the best routing target for this customer.

Creating a speech grammar

Click Add Grammar to create a speech grammar. In the pop-up window, enter a name for the speech grammar and click OK.

You can now upload your speech grammar file. In the Grammar detail area, click the Language drop-down to select the language of the speech grammar. Next, click the Choose file to upload button that appears when you hover over the No file text.

Choose a file to upload (note that the size of the uploaded file cannot exceed 10 MB).

After the speech grammar file has uploaded, you can click the Show Contents button () to view the contents of the grammar file in a read-only window.

Next, you can tag the speech grammar or enter a description. You can also specify the format and mode of the speech grammar.

Important

Genesys Designer does not validate the contents of the speech grammar. The Grammar Format and Grammar Mode settings only determine how Designer treats the speech grammar in an application.

When you are done, click Save.
