Using strong data types to represent speech recognition grammars in software programs

摘要

In one embodiment, a system for interpretation of natural language inputs to natural language enabled applications has a grammar, a source file, and a speech recognizer. The grammar has a set of data types and semantic code defining rules about the set of data types. The source file includes computer readable code adapted to access the grammar by instantiating selected data types of the set of data types. The speech recognizer is adapted to receive natural language input and to map the natural language input to the selected data types.
