Phone_With_Confirm

The Phone_With_Confirm voice element captures a phone number input from the caller, and presents a confirmation menu allowing the caller to either accept their entry or re-enter the phone number. The phone number can be spoken or entered using the keypad. The captured value will be stored in element data as a string. The string may contain a number of digits and an optional character "x" to indicate a phone number with an extension. Using speech input, the entire phone number (including the extension) may be spoken in natural language. Using DTMF entry, the caller can enter an extension by pressing the * keypress followed by the extension.

Modal

(Disable Hotlinks)

boolean

Yes

true

true

false

If set to true, only the grammars of the current Phone_With_Confirm element (the builtin phone and boolean grammars) will be enabled for the duration of the element. Otherwise all active grammars will be enabled.

secure_logging

(Secure Logging)

boolean

Yes

true

true

false

If set to true, user DTMF input for the element is considered secure and the attributes utterance, interpretation, value, nbestUtteranceX and nbestInterpretationX are masked in VXML server logs. The format used to render secure element attributes is to add a _secureLogging suffix. For example nbestUtterance1_secureLogging,*****.

Maxnbest

(Maxnbest)

int ≥ 1

Yes

true

true

1

The maximum number of speech recognition results that can be generated per voice input.

Refer to the Element Data table that follows for information about nbestUtteranceX and nbestInterpretationX.

Element Data

Name

Type

Notes

Value

string

The number captured and stored as a whole or decimal number with an optional minus sign.

value_confidence

float

This is the confidence value of the captured utterance. When n-best recognition is enabled, this stores the confidence score of the top hypothesis in the n-best list.

nbestLength

int ≥ 1

This stores the number of n-best hypotheses generated by the speech engine.

nbestUtterance1

nbestUtterance2

nbestUtteranceX

string

This set of element data stores the captured n-best utterances. While the maximum number of nbestUtteranceX values is equal to the maxnbest setting value, the actual number of these values available is determined by speech recognition at runtime, where nbestUtterance1 holds the utterance of the top hypothesis in the n-best list and nbestUtteranceX holds the utterance of the last hypothesis.

nbestInterpretation1

nbestInterpretation2

nbestInterpretationX

string

This set of element data stores the interpretations of captured n-best utterances. While the maximum number of nbestInterpretationX values is equal to the maxnbest setting value, the actual number of these values available is determined by speech recognition at runtime, where nbestInterpretation1 holds the interpretation of the top hypothesis in the n-best list and nbestInterpretationX holds the interpretation of the last hypothesis.

nbestConfidence1

nbestConfidence2

nbestConfidenceX

float

This set of element data stores the confidence scores of captured n-best utterances. While the maximum number of nbestConfidenceX values is equal to the maxnbest setting value, the actual number of these values available is determined by speech recognition at runtime, where nbestConfidence1 holds the confidence score of the top hypothesis in the n-best list and nbestConfidenceX holds the confidence score of the last hypothesis.

nbestInputmode1

nbestInputmode2

nbestInputmodeX

string

This set of element data stores the input modes of captured n-best utterances.

Exit States

Name

Notes

max_nomatch

max_disconfirmed

The maximum number of disconfirmations has occurred. If the max disconfirmed count is set to 0, this exit state will never occur.

done

The phone number captured was confirmed.
