RDC: Let's get grammars working with Nuance

["Stuart D. Robertson II" <sr...@nvisia.com>]

Hello,
 
I'm sending this to see if we can coordinate any efforts to get
RDC  
grammars working with both nuance and IBM's voice server.  Steve
and Daniel have put some effort into getting RDC grammars to
work with Nuance (see previous threads in this newsgroup).  If I
understand correctly from following the taglibs-dev threads, it
seems the issues are pretty well understood, and a workaround
has been found.  If the remaining bits are to simply go through
the  grammars and make the changes, I'd like to help, if needed,
to get the changes made.

Getting RDCs working with nuance would pave the road for 
a slick top-to-bottom tutorial for developers.  The free
interpreter  
hosting (for development) site that I've found so far is at
http:// 
community.voxeo.com .  If there are others, I'd love to know
about  
them.  Anyway, I quickly found that I run in to the exact same 

problem Daniel and Steve have been working on.
 
Is there more work to be done to get the grammar changes made
and  
tested?  If so, would help be useful?  I'll have some time to
work on this.  But I'm not sure where to start, and certainly
don't want to do things that others are already working on.
 
Cheers,
 
Stu

Yes, those are the remaining bits, and thanks for offering to help. Help 
is always welcome.

Agreed, such free hosting will potentially increase our dev base. Thanks 
for the pointer. I'm not aware of any other sites that allow such hosting, 
maybe we should ask on the w3 voice forum. There is [ 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openvxi/ ] and [ 
http://jvoicexml.sourceforge.net/ ], but I haven't looked at either in any 
detail to tell you what they're all about ;-)

I think Daniel wanted to help [ 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=taglibs-dev&m=111514547816399&w=2 ]. I'm 
happy to chip in, if needed. I think when we hear back from Daniel, we 
should divide the grammars and conquer this. We might then include those 
in the distro, and pick up the appropriate grammar based on the locale 
variant.

Daniel, are you there? :-)
