Grammar Format Specification

Print-friendly Version

Contents  Previous  Next  

This document is the technical specification for the Java Speech Grammar Format (JSGF). The Java Speech Grammar Format is a platform-independent, vendor- independent textual representation of grammars for use in speech recognition. JSGF adopts the style and conventions of the Java programming language in addition to use of traditional grammar notations.

Technical Scope

This specification does not address programmatic issues. Programming issues, including those listed below, are covered in the documentation for the Java Speech API (JSAPI).

• Mechanisms for loading, creating and deleting of grammars in a speech recognizer, activation of grammars for recognition, and other grammar management functionality.

• Conventions for loading grammars: for example, via URLs on a web site.

• Mechanisms for receiving results of recognition for a grammar and processing of those results.

• Error handling for syntactically incorrect grammar definitions.

• Vocabulary management including handling of token pronunciations.
