SALT (Speech Application Language Tags)
SALT stands for Speech Application Language Tags. It
consists of small set of XML elements with associated attributes and DOM
object properties, events and methods which apply a speech interface to
web pages. SALT allows applications to be run on a wide variety of devices
and also through different methods for inputting data.
The main design principle of SALT include reuse the
existing standards for grammar, speech output and also separation of the
speech interface from business logic and data etc. SALT is designed to run
inside different Web execution environments. So SALT does not have any
predefined execution model but it uses an event-wiring model.
It contains a set of tags for inputting the data as
well as storing and manipulating that data. The main elements of a SALT
document are <listen>, <prompt> and <dtmf>. Using these
elements we can specify grammar for inputting data , inspect the results
of recognition and copy those results properly and provide the application
needed.The architecture of SALT contains mainly 4 components
