Media Steps

The steps in the Media palette of the Cisco Unified CCX  Editor provide script designers with a way to process media interactions with callers.

Media interactions can include playing or recording prompts and acquiring Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) or speech input.

Note

When developing scripts that prompt callers, remember to accommodate the needs of hearing-impaired customers. To make your application fully accessible to these callers, set up scripts to interact with devices such as a Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) or Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TTY/TDD).

All media steps work with either DTMF or Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) input with the exception of the Voice Browser step, which works only with ASR.

Note

Before using an AS R or TTS script as a Cisco Unified CCX application, you should first validate the script against the MRCP ASR and TTS vendor’s list of supported capabilities.

Figure shows the steps in the Media palette as they appear in the Palette pane of the Cisco Unified CCX  Editor.

Note

The Name to User and Voice Browser steps are only available for the Cisco UnifiedIP IVR or Cisco Unified CCX Premium license options.
