Voice recognition of a spelled word character by character.

We are thinking of an inbound approach where the caller is offered the ability to spell a word that cannot be recognized.

Currently we are only aware of this ability when using the ACRONYM method for outputting a word (or grammar entry).

We can recognize one character at a time but currently the recognition phase terminates after a single character recognition. Do you have a script that will recognize a string of characters spelled out individually.

Is there a grammar string or a guide as to how we can do this.

We would also need to include recognition of the word space (or an equivalent word) to act as a word spacer and the word "end" or a suitable alternative, when the spelling is complete.

:?: Do you have a suitable script somewhere?

Thank You

character - character spelling too difficult for IVR recog

Hi,

Sorry, but this IVR application is not possible due to the difficulty the IVR speech recognition engine would have in recognizing the spelling from a human being. One example of how difficult it would be is differing between an "m" and an "n".
