Re: VoiceXML 2.1 Working Draft

Hi, James.

VoiceXML browsers need the binary data to allow them to <submit> the data
(usually in the body of a HTTP POST) to a Web server. A VoiceXML browser on
top of an MRCPv2 client would need to render ("download") the save_waveform
URI (by using a HTTP client inside the browser), if and when a <submit> was
required.

Cheers,

Dave

Hi

I have a question. Please can you explain why the mechanism defined in "7.
Recording User Utterances While Attempting Recognition" returns a binary
waveform rather than a URL that points to the waveform? Is it to avoid
firewall issues?

This is in the context of MRCP 2 where a mechanism is provided to save
waveforms on a recognition by recognition basis (using the save_waveform
parameter). The waveforms are saved on the rec server. The MRCP recognition
result does not return the binary waveform to the browser, but a URL that
points to it. This would appear to be more efficient.
