About Our Platform
Developer Platform Version
The Developer Platform is running VoiceGenie 7.2.
Developer Platform ASR/TTS
The VoiceGenie Platform can support automatic speech recognition (ASR)
and text-to-speech (TTS) engines from many different vendors. The tables
below show what ASR engines and what TTS engines are available on the
Developer Platform. Try out your VoiceXML application with different engines
to see what best suits your needs.
You can use either of the following two phone numbers to call in to
the Developer Platform:
|
+1 905-305-0293
|
+1 905-305-0410
|
If your VoiceXML page does not specify the ASR engine/language or
TTS engine/voice to use, the default settings will depend on the number that
you called. In the tables below, the default settings for +1 905-305-0293 are
marked with *, and those for +1 905-305-0410 are marked with **.
For details on specifying ASR engines/languages in the application, see the
multiple ASR engines tutorial
and
multi-language ASR tutorial.
For details on specifying TTS engines/voices in the application, see the
multiple TTS engines tutorial.

Other Details
Please also note the following:
-
With +1 905-305-0293, the
COM.VOICEGENIE.STRICTCONFORMANCE
property is set to FALSE.
(With +1 905-305-0410, the platform is running in a mode that is hard-coded to use only
strictly conformant behaviour, so this property is not used.)
-
With +1 905-305-0293, the
COM.VOICEGENIE.USECONNECTIONEVENT
property is set to FALSE.
(With +1 905-305-0410, the platform is running in a mode that is hard-coded to throw only
"connection" events, so this property is not used.)
-
Transfers are disabled on the Developer platform;
attempting to use
<transfer> will generate an error.
-
Call control tags are disabled on the Developer platform;
use of these tags may give unexpected results.
