What is the architecture of a voice application on the Tellme Platform?
The Tellme voice application architecture integrates powerful voice-recognition technology with the familiar application model of the Web, providing a mechanism to quickly and easily augment existing Web applications with voice-driven interfaces. It is easiest to explain the Tellme voice application architecture by comparing it with the architecture of a Web application. A Web application is implemented as a series of HTML pages retrieved from a Web server by a browser. The browser’s job is to retrieve pages from the Web server over HTTP, and to visually render these pages for the user. User input collected through HTML forms, is passed to the server via HTTP requests for processing, and the server generates a response back to the browser. This processing typically involves back end business logic, legacy system integration and database access. Tellme has harnessed the simplicity of this well-understood architecture, and applied it to the development of voice applications. The architec
