March 20, 2008 - New NGI Reference Documentation
In 7.2+, VoiceGenie supports a Next-Generation Interpreter (NGI), in addition to the previous Legacy Interpreter.
When using NGI, please consult the new NGI reference documentation. Note that the NGI documentation is a work in progress. The information (including tutorials) will be extended over time.
In the meantime, if you continue referring to parts of the previous website documentation, remember that it was designed with the Legacy Interpreter in mind, and therefore may not completely apply to NGI. The VG 7.2 Application Migration Guide (available at http://support.voicegenie.com) will help identify what behaviour has changed.
The previous website documentation will not be updated with NGI information. September 6, 2007 - New Phone Numbers for the Developer Platform
