Studio provides built in elements to capture numeric input via ASR. Is there an element that will do this with alphanumeric input as well? I need to capture a string that could contain numbers and letters. This is using Nuance Recognizer 9.0.
 
 
 
 

For alphanum grammars you can use a form element and fill in the setting
Voice Grammar to point to the URL of a grammar file (for example
http://mediaserver.com/grammars/alphanum.grxml). But, you'll have to
purchase the alphanum grammar from Nuance or someone, it's not an easy
for the recognizer to get it right.

That is what I lead myself to believe and you have just confirmed it. Do you have any recomendations on resources for grammar files other than Nuance? Maybe some free examples that you have used in the past. I guess my first step is to take a crack at designing my own grammar before I turn to Nuance for it.
 
 

I have OSR grammar examples, but not Nuance. What version of Nuance are
you using?

Alphanumeric speech collection is one of the most difficult for a
recognizer to get right. Many of the letters sound alike (example, A, E,
C, B, D, G). It helps if you know the number of characters/digits and if
you know which positions are numbers vs. which are letters. Also if any
of the positions are constrained (like position one is A thru E,
position 2 is a digit, etc).

This is Recognizer 9. If you have an example that I could look at it would help alot. We will probably procure the services of Nuance in the end but if I can get by with an example I may be ok. The input does have predictible characters in each posistion so I might be able to pull it off. You can email me at csmith@ctiusa.com if you like with the sample grammar. Thanks for your help.
