The built-in field types and grammars for Simplified Chinese are listed here.
Element | Implementation details |
---|---|
boolean | Users can say positive responses such as ![]() , or negative responses such as ![]() . Users can also provide DTMF input: 1 is yes, and 2 is no. The return value sent is a boolean “true” for a positive response or “false” for a negative response. |
currency | Users can say currency values from 0 to 999,999,999.99 including
common constructs such as ![]() . Users can also provide DTMF input using the numbers 0 through 9 and optionally the * key (to indicate a decimal point), and can terminate DTMF entry using the # key. The return value sent is a string in the format UUUddddddddd.cc, where UUU is a currency indicator; in Simplified Chinese version, “RMB” will be used. If the field name is subsequently used in a value attribute within a prompt, the TTS engine will speak the currency value. |
date | Users can say a date using years, months and days, as well
as the words ![]() , ![]() , and ![]() . Common constructs such as ![]() or ![]() are supported. Users can also provide DTMF input in the from yyyymmdd. Note: The
date grammar does not perform leap year calculations;
![]() is accepted as a valid date regardless of the year. If desired, your application or servlet can perform the required calculations. The return value sent is a string in the format yyyymmdd,
with the VoiceXML browser returning a ? in any positions omitted
in spoken input. If the value is subsequently spoken in <say-as> with
the interpret-as value vxml:date, then it is spoken
as a date appropriate to this language. For example, the TTS engine
speaks |
digits | Users can say numeric integer values as individual digits (0
through 9). For example, a user could say 123456 as ![]() . Users can also provide DTMF input using the numbers 0 through 9, and must terminate DTMF entry using the # key. The
return value sent is a string of one or more digits. If the result
is subsequently used in <say-as> with the interpret-as value vxml:digits,
it will be spoken as a sequence of digits appropriate to the current
language. In the above example, the TTS engine speaks 123456 as Note: Use this type
instead of the number type if you require very high recognition accuracy
for your numeric input.
|
number | User can say natural numbers (that is, positive and negative
integers and decimals) from 0 through 999,999,999,999 as well as the
word ![]() (to indicate a dot) and ![]() (to indicate a negative number). User can also provide DTMF input using the numbers 0 through 9 and optionally the * key (to indicate a dot), and must terminate DTMF entry using the # key. Note: Only positive numbers can be entered using DTMF.
The
return value sent is a string of one or more digits, 0 through 9,
with a decimal point and a + or - sign as applicable .If the field
is subsequently spoken in <say-as> with the interpret-as value vxml:type,
where type is the type number you want to specify, then it is spoken
as that type number appropriate to this language. In the above example,
the TTS engine speaks 123456 as Use <say-as interpret-as="vxml:digit"> to have the number said as a string of digits. |
phone | Users can say a telephone number including the optional word ![]() or ![]() . Users can also provide DTMF input using the numbers 0 through 9 and optionally the * key (to represent the word “extension”), and must terminated DTMF entry using the # key. The return value sent is a string of digits which includes an x if an extension was specified. If the field is subsequently spoken in <say-as> with the interpret-as value vxml:phone, then it is spoken as a phone number appropriate to this language. Note: For
tips on minimizing recognition errors that are due to user parses
during input, see Using the built-in phone grammar.
|
time | Users can say a time of day using hours and minutes in either
12- or 24-hour format, as well as the word ![]() . Users can also provide DTMF input using the numbers 0 through 9. The return value
sent is a string in the format hhmmx, where x is a for
a.m, p for p.m, h for 24 hour format, or ? if
unspecified or ambiguous; for DTMF input, the return value will always
be h or ?, since there is no mechanism for specifying
a.m.or p.m. If the field is subsequently spoken in <say-as> with
the interpret-as value vxml:time, then it is spoken
as a time appropriate to this language. For example, the TTS engine
speaks |
