Abstract:

A system, method and software for collecting, processing and analyzing user task utterances in speech-enabled systems are provided. In one embodiment, a number of task utterances are captured over a period of time. A text-based version of the utterances is created from the captured utterances. The captured task utterances, the text-based utterances and an identification record are preferably placed in storage. The text and/or recorded utterances are categorized into action-object pairs. The identification records and recorded utterances are linked. From the linked, categorized text and recorded utterances, speech grammars for a speech-enabled system may then be developed.
