Reply Message #2550 of 3245 |
Hi,
I have a customer who would like a list of all acceptable grammar inputs for
their VUI app. Does anyone know of a good grxml "sentence-generation" tool that
will spit out a list of items from a grxml file?
Thanks!

That will be fun. I hope they don't plan on printing it out or they may lay waste to a small forest somewhere. In any non-trivial (i.e. real) grammar, there...

I cannot agree more with Peter. Even simple grammars can lead to a large (if not infinite) number of sentences. Generating a highly representative set of...

Just curious. Why do they want this? Do they really need ALL of the acceptable inputs, or would a subset do? James R. (Jim) Lewis, Ph.D., CHFP Senior Human...

I agree that’s a good question. I suspect they are going to get more than they bargained for, unless the grammars are unusually simple. One or both of the...

and... of course if there are any loops in the grammar, the list would be infinite, and they hopefully would understand your hesitance to give them a complete...

I would second that. Any sort of dynamic grammar will yield a ridiculously large number of outputs: Account numbers, SSNs, PINs, IDs, name capture, address...

Thanks for the responses, everyone. To be clear, they don't need a list of ALL inputs, just a subset. Their purpose is to provide the output to their UAT...

The Nuance8 tool does allow you to avoid expanding inconsequential sub-grammars like filler, etc. This _might_ get you better mileage. Here the Nuance8 option...
