Abstract:
1. A computer-based method for automatically creating a non-voice-mode only interactive application from a voice-mode only interactive application, the method comprising: providing a voice-mode only interactive application having a set of voice-mode elements, the set of voice-mode elements defining the voice-mode only interactive application for accomplishing a predetermined user-directed task; representing the voice-mode only interactive application as a call flow using a graphical call flow builder, each voice-mode element of the set of voice-mode elements including at least one among a function, statement, prompt, input field, and presentation field that performs a step of the task using a voice-mode output or based upon a voice-mode user supplied input; automatically generating a non-voice-mode element corresponding to each voice-mode element, and wherein the non-voice-mode element comprises at least one among a function, statement, prompt, input field, and presentation field that performs a corresponding step of the task using a non-voice-mode output or based upon a non-voice-mode user-supplied input; and constructing a non-voice-mode only interactive application using the graphical call flow builder, wherein the non-voice-mode only interactive application comprises a set of non-voice-mode elements consisting of the generated non-voice-mode element for each voice-mode element, wherein the non-voice-mode only interactive application constructed is capable of accomplishing the same predetermined user-directed task.
