Voice Web Solutions releases Grammar Studio 1.0
Create, Build and Visualize W3C SRGS GRXML Speech Grammars

Seattle, Washington - February 15, 2005 - Voice Web Solutions today announced the immediate availability of Grammar StudioT 1.0, the first stand-alone round-trip WYSIWYG grammar editor for the voice web industry. Grammar Studio is a developer tool for visually creating and deploying speech grammar formats for VoiceXML telephony, multimodal SALT and X+V applications. Voice Web Solutions addresses the need within the speech applications market for a grammar tool that supports all operating systems, including any platform that requires the industry standard W3C grammar xml format (GRXML). Grammar Studio is the only stand-alone grammar tool on the market today that is fully compliant with the W3C Speech Recognition Grammar Specification (SRGS) Version 1.0.

Voice Web Solutions continues to pioneer the Voice Web community via industry-first product releases of tools that elegantly build and deploy speech applications. Today, with the launch of Grammar Studio 1.0, Voice Web Solutions solidifies it's commitment to releasing industry standard tools for creating, editing, and deploying speech grammars. Grammar Studio is positioned to be the top grammar editor within the speech industry because of its unique visual grammar creation tools, wizards, xml tree view and round-trip code editing. There are numerous features that provide quick and accurate grammar document creation, viewing, and modification. Grammar Studio can work with new or existing grammar files regardless of the underlying platform. As a separate add-on to existing service creation environments, or by itself, Grammar Studio is light (only about 1MB) and can visualize 100% of the W3C Speech Recognition Grammar Specification that is required for VoiceXML 2.0 and SALT implementations. In addition to SRGS support, Grammar Studio can import and export whole or partial grammars, including a built-in customizable language format converter that makes translating existing grammar documents to other traditional formats like ANBF a snap! "Working with grammar files has never been easier or more user friendly", said Jeremy McKenzie, Vice President of Marketing at Voice Web Solutions. "We spent over a year in developing a tool that both newbie and advanced users can understand and be highly productive. No matter what stage you're at in developing speech grammars, there is no faster way to build and deploy speech utterances than with Grammar Studio."

Grammar Studio 1.0 builds upon the already popular success of SRGS as a W3C candidate recommendation. Additionally, there are already thousands of developers currently deploying VoiceXML 2.0 and SALT applications which require the use of this specific grammar language format. Voice Web Solutions has set up a Voice Web Community at GrammarStudio.com which developers can share grammars and communicate with over 1800 other voice web enthusiast and speech companies from around the world. "One of the key advantages of Grammar Studio is our unique ability to integrate with existing Java based service creation environments which lack sophisticated grammar editors. Most developers code by hand and do not have a graphical representation of speech input utterances for interactive voice response and multimodal systems. Even though SRGS has been around since the VoiceXML 2.0 and SALT industry adoption, there remain few solutions today for creating speech grammars" said Brian Ty Graham, President of Voice Web Solutions. "Grammar Studio rapidly cuts development time for creating grammars down to mere seconds. There simply is no other grammar tool that compares with the speed and robustness of deploying grammars on the market today."

Voice Web Solutions guarantees that Grammar Studio is compatible with Voice Web Studio, our SALT web developer tool add-on for Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004, which has been downloaded by over 10,000 developers since 2002. By combining Voice Web Studio and Grammar Studio, speech developers have a low-cost, complete development solution for SALT content creation.
