Testing VoiceXML with TTS or NLSR

If you are using Proxy Text-to-Speech (PTTS) or Natural Language Speech Recognition (NLSR) with your VoiceXML application, you can test the proxy connection to the TTS or NLSR servers using the test document, vxmlFeatureTest.vxml, provided as part of the VoiceXML feature. This document is set up to prompt the caller with a test and provide feedback that indicates the software is working properly.

To test the proxy for PTTS or NLSR:

1. At the command line, enter vxmlassign uri file:///vs/data/vxml/vxmlFeatureTest.vxml chan range where range is the range of channels you want to assign to the test document, such as 0-23.

   Note:
   You can also assign a VoiceXML URI to channels using the Web Administration interface.

2. Place a call to a phone number in the assigned channel range.

   If the system fails to answer, assign the test document again.

3. When the system answers, press 1 to test TTS or 2 to test NLSR.
   • If you press 1, the system speaks text that indicates the PTTS software is working.
   • If you press 2, the system prompts you to speak two digits, such as 4 and 8. Speak the two digits. If the NLSR software is working correctly, the system speaks the two digits back to you (using PTTS).
4. Hang up.
