ATOM Spoken Dialogue SDK: Contents

The ATOM Spoken Dialogue SDK includes original, powerful tools to support the development of advanced spoken dialogue applications.

Contents in Detail

• Grammar Compiler
  The grammar compiler translates grammars written in one of the supported grammar standards to an efficient binary representation.
• Dialogue Script Compiler
  The dialogue script compiler translates dialogue scripts written in ECMAScript into an efficient binary representation. The output of the dialogue script compiler defines how the ATOM Dialogue Runtime Engine acts and reacts. This output can be redistributed or put in ROM.
• ATOM Dialogue Runtime Engine
  A dialogue runtime engine for Windows XP SP2 is included. Additional runtime engines for different target platforms can be purchased separately.
• Database Conversion Tool
  The database conversion tool lets you convert SQL databases between the different format. Currently, supported formats are Sqlite and MS Access.

• ATOM Data Collection Tool
  The ATOM Data Collection Tool is a simple tool to support non Wizard-of-Oz based data collection for grammar development. It allows the developer to get an initial data set quickly without having to invest a large amount of time and resources.
• ATOM Lexicon Tool
  The ATOM Lexicon Tool lets a developer interactively determine phonetic transcriptions of words. The phonetic transcriptions can be used to tune a speech recognizer or to add new words to the lexicon of the speech recognizer.
• Example Source Code
  The included example source code illustrates how dialogue scripts can take advantage of the features of the ATOM platform. In addition, C++ example source code shows how the ATOM Dialogue Rutime Engine can be integrated with third party software components.
