  • GrammarKit 4
  • SpeechKit 7

Summary

Chant Developer Workbench 2011, GrammarKit 4, and SpeechKit 7 provide support for W3C SRGS ABNF grammars.

More Information

The W3C SRGS ABNF grammar text file format is a Backus-Naur Form (BNF) grammar adapted for speech recognition. The W3C specification is Recognition Grammar Specification Version 1.0.

Creating, Editing, and Testing W3C ABNF Grammars

Chant Developer Workbench 2011 introduces support for creating, editing, and testing W3C SRGS ABNF grammars. The new editor provides intelliprompt assistance for fast syntax input and editing.

The steps to create a W3C SRGS ABNF grammar with Chant Developer Workbench and GrammarKit are as follows:

  1. Select the File->New->Speech Recognition Grammar->W3C ABNF Grammar menu item or click the New Standard toolbar button and select W3C ABNF Grammar to create one in a document window. Note if you do not see any grammar types listed in the menu, then you need to run the Chant Software Unlock utility to begin your evaluation, your GrammarKit evaluation has expired, or you need to register and unlock your licensed copy with a serial number.
  2. Save your new grammar to a file by selecting the File->Save menu item or click the Save Standard toolbar button. You are prompted to confirm the file name.

Dynamically Generating W3C ABNF Grammars

GrammarKit 4 introduces support for dynamically generating and compiling W3C SRGS ABNF grammars.

The following example illustrates generating a W3C SRGS ABNF grammar:


private Chant.GrammarKit.NChantGM NChantGM1;
private NChantGrammar _NChantGrammar = null;
// Instantiate NChantGM object
NChantGM1 = new NChantGM(this);
NChantGM1.SetNumberProperty(ChantNumberProperty.CNPEngineAPI, (int)ChantEngineAPI.CEVoCon4);
// Win32 - Set the path to the VoCon runtime libraries
NChantGM1.SetStringProperty(ChantStringProperty.CSPEnginePath, "C:\\Program Files\\Nuance\\vocon3200\\EDS_v4_1\\bin\\winx86rls");
// Win32 - Set the file name of CLC model
NChantGM1.SetStringProperty(ChantStringProperty.CSPCLCModel, "C:\\Program Files\\Nuance\\vocon3200\\EDS_v4_1\\models\\clc_enu_cfg3_v1_0_0.dat");
// Win32 - Or set the file name of DDG2P model

Recognizing with W3C ABNF Grammars

SpeechKit 7 introduces support for recognizing with W3C SRGS ABNF grammars through Nuance VoCon 3200 V4.

The following example illustrates defining, enabling, and disabling a W3C SRGS ABNF grammar resource for speech recognition.
