Why is developing dialogs with Metaphor so much faster than any other software that helps write Voice XML code or Speech Web Controls?
Metaphor Conversation Manager implements the dialog from dialog forms embedded in standard C# code. This combines the ease of creating a turn of conversation by entering a form with the richness of C# resources, methods and interfaces. Flow control is a snap with C# conditional statements and function calls. As an example, the dialog in one of our packaged speech IVR applications dynamically generated 2,133 Voice XML statements from only 73 lines of Metaphor Script, 32 dialog variables and 17 parameters. Metaphor Conversation Manager generated the database and Web interfaces in the packaged application with C#. This shows why dialog development with Metaphor is so much faster and easier to maintain than writing straight Voice XML or using Speech Web Controls.
