say-as not working

[peterdunn]

I get an error when trying to use this code. I want to read back the digits I take in. How do I use say as to read back a number just taken in from a promot?

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="2.0">
<form>
<field name="id" type="digits">
<prompt>
Please say or enter your customer identification number.
</prompt>
<filled>
You entered <say-as type="acronym"> <value expr="id"/> </say-as>
<!-- transfer to premium support -->
</filled>
</field>
</form>
</vxml>

This document is not valid VoiceXML!

Element say-as is not declared in filled list of possible children in Entity, line: 12

Hi,

The reason you are getting this IVR error is because the <say-as> tag is not a child IVR tag of the <filled>tag.

The parent IVR tags for the <say-as> tag are:

<audio>, <emphasis>, <enumerate>, <foreach>, <p>, <paragraph>, <prompt>, <prosody>, <s>, <sentence>, <speak>, <voice>

You would have have to place your <say-as> tag within one of these parent tags to not get this IVR error.

The following IVR code should work with the <say-as> tag:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="2.0">
  <form>
    <block>
      <prompt>
        Acronym is spelled:
        <say-as type="acronym">
          acronym
        </say-as>
      </prompt>
    </block>
  </form>
</vxml>

Hope this helps.

Hi Peter,

We've slightly modified your IVR tag, <say-as>, in your IVR code and have tested it successfully:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="2.0">
<form>
<field name="id" type="digits">
<prompt>
Please say or enter your customer identification number.
</prompt>
<filled>
You entered <prompt> <say-as type="acronym"> <value expr="id"/> </say-as> </prompt>
<!-- transfer to premium support -->
</filled>
</field>
</form>
</vxml>

thanks! Moving it out of the field tag fixed it!
