Abstract: Dynamically defining a VoiceXML grammar of a multimodal application, implemented with the multimodal application operating on a multimodal device supporting multiple modes of interaction including a voice mode and one or more non-voice modes, the multimodal application operatively coupled to a VoiceXML interpreter, and the method includes loading the X+V page by the multimodal application, from a web server into the multimodal device for execution, the X+V page including one or more VoiceXML grammars in one or more VoiceXML dialogs, including at least one in-line grammar that is declared but undefined; retrieving by the multimodal application a grammar definition for the in-line grammar from the web server without reloading the X+V page; and defining by the multimodal application the in-line grammar with the retrieved grammar definition before executing the VoiceXML dialog containing the in-line grammar.

Abstract: Enabling dynamic VoiceXML in an X+V page of a multimodal application implemented with the multimodal application operating in a multimodal browser on a multimodal device supporting multiple modes of interaction including a voice mode and one or more non-voice modes, the multimodal application operatively coupled to a VoiceXML interpreter, including representing by the multimodal browser an XML element of a VoiceXML dialog of the X+V page as an ECMAScript object, the XML element comprising XML content; storing by the multimodal browser the XML content of the XML element in an attribute of the ECMAScript object; and accessing the XML content of the XML element in the attribute of the ECMAScript object from an ECMAScript script in the X+V page.

Abstract: Disambiguating a speech recognition grammar in a multimodal application, the multimodal application including voice activated hyperlinks, the voice activated hyperlinks voice enabled by a speech recognition grammar characterized by ambiguous terminal grammar elements, including maintaining by the multimodal browser a record of visibility of each voice activated hyperlink, the record of visibility including current visibility and past visibility on a display of the multimodal device of each voice activated hyperlink, the record of visibility further including an ordinal indication, for each voice activated hyperlink scrolled off display, of the sequence in which each such voice activated hyperlink was scrolled off display; recognizing by the multimodal browser speech from a user matching an ambiguous terminal element of the speech recognition grammar; selecting by the multimodal browser a voice activated hyperlink for activation, the selecting carried out in dependence upon the recognized speech and the record

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer program products are described for document session replay for multimodal applications. including identifying, by a multimodal browser in dependence upon a log produced by a Form Interpretation Algorithm (‘FIA’) during a previous document session with a user, a speech prompt provided by a multimodal application in the previous document session; identifying, by a multimodal browser in replay mode in dependence upon the log, a response to the prompt provided by a user of the multimodal application in the previous document session; retrieving, by the multimodal browser in dependence upon the log, an X+V page of the multimodal application associated with the speech prompt and the response; rendering, by the multimodal browser, the visual elements of the retrieved X+V page; replaying, by the multimodal browser, the speech prompt; and replaying, by a multimodal browser, the response.
