  • VoiceXMLKit

Summary

End users typically interact with VoiceXML applications running on servers over a phone connection.

VoiceXMLKit provides tools developing and testing VoiceXML applications offline before the VoiceXML documents are deployed to servers.

More Information

The VoiceXMLKit conversation management component is designed to provide you a lot of flexiblity and minimize the programming necessary to validate and interpret VoiceXML.

To run a VoiceXML application, use the OpenSession method to create a session, then simply use RunDocument method to interpret the VoiceXML document. For example: 


// Validate a VoiceXML document
NChantXM1.CompileDocument("mydocument.vxml");
        

// Validate a VoiceXML document
pChantXM->CompileDocument(L"mydocument.vxml", 0, CVSFile, CCPAsynchronous);
    

// Validate a VoiceXML document
pChantXM->CompileDocument("mydocument.vxml", 0, CVSFile, CCPAsynchronous);


// Validate a VoiceXML document
ChantXM1.CompileDocument('mydocument.vxml', 0, CVSFile, CCPAsynchronous);
    

// Validate a VoiceXML document
JChantXM1.compileDocument("mydocument.vxml", 0, CVSFile, ChantCompileOption.CCPAsynchronous);
    

' Validate a VoiceXML document
NChantXM1.CompileDocument("mydocument.vxml")

To run a validate a VoiceXML document use the CompileDocument method. For example: 


// Open session
_SessionID = NChantXM1.OpenSession();
// Interpret the document
NChantXM1.RunDocument(_SessionID, "mydocument.vxml");
        

// Open session
_SessionID = pChantXM->OpenSession();
// Interpret the document
pChantXM->RunDocument(_SessionID, L"mydocument.vxml");
    

// Open session
_SessionID = pChantXM->OpenSession();
// Interpret the document
pChantXM->RunDocument(_SessionID, "mydocument.vxml");


// Open session
_SessionID = NChantXM1.OpenSession();
// Interpret the document
ChantXM1.RunDocument(_SessionID, 'mydocument.vxml');
    

// Open session
_SessionID = JChantXM1.OpenSession();
// Interpret the document
JChantXM1.RunDocument(_SessionID, "mydocument.vxml");
    

' Open session
_SessionID = NChantXM1.OpenSession()
' Interpret the document
NChantXM1.RunDocument(_SessionID, "mydocument.vxml")

To stop the VoiceXML application, simply use the CloseSession method. For example: 


// Close session when CCXMDone event fires
NChantXM1.CloseSession(_SessionID);
        

// Close session when CCXMDone event fires
pChantXM->CloseSession(_SessionID);
    

// Close session when CCXMDone event fires
pChantXM->CloseSession(_SessionID);


// Close session when CCXMDone event fires
ChantXM1.CloseSession(_SessionID);
    

// Close session when CCXMDone event fires
JChantXM1.CloseSession(_SessionID);
    

' Close session when CCXMDone event fires
NChantXM1.CloseSession(_SessionID)

Within Chant Developer Workbench, open the VoiceXML document and select the Compile Document menu item or press the toolbar button to validate the document.

VoiceXML Document Validation

To test the document with Chant Developer Workbench, select the Run Document menu itme or press the toolbar button to invoke the VoiceXMLKit interpreter.
