Hello,
using UniMRCP and the MRCPRecog() dialplan function with "f" option 
(https://www.unimrcp.org/manuals/html/AsteriskManual.html#_Toc424230605), you 
can use ASR with Nuance/Lumenvox and have Asterisk play prompts locally.
You can alternatively have the MRCP server play audio, but that does tie up 
ports and require you to copy the files over.
We have done both in the past, but on Asterisk it is preferable to use local 
playback, it uses less resources and does not need to be managed.

Best regards,

Luca

Hello Luca,

Thank you for your response.  I’m familiar with speech recognition and TTS, but 
new to MRCP.

Yes, the 100k options is used for names in a directory listing.

In the pre-MRCP support, Nuance ASR used API events/methods for the application 
to tell ASR when the prompt was playing and when it stopped.  If ASR detected 
speech, it would signal an event so we would stop playing the prompt.

When using MRCP for ASR, is MRCP responsible for playing any prompts during the 
recognition?
Basically, I’m wondering if I need to copy all the prompts stored on our 
Asterisk box to the MRCP box so it can use them during the play/ASR.  Or would 
some form of bridging be used for the play on Asterisk while MRCP would perform 
only the ASR?

Have a great day!

Dan

Hello,
you are correct. Very large grammars are only feasible with UniMRCP, and there 
is recognition quality to keep in mind too, which is far better on Nuance or 
Lumenvox than you can get with Pocketsphinx.

We use Lumenvox with UniMRCP for most ASR use cases, but with 100,000 options 
it might very well be the only solution for you.

Mind if I ask what the 100k options are for? Person names for a directory?

Best regards,

Luca

Is it correct that the unimrcp is the best approach for Asterisk and ASR/TTS?

Could anyone provide pros/cons for the various ASR options for Asterisk?
We need the ability for very large grammars (over 100,000 options).  Because of 
this, my initial thought is Nuance or Lumenvox.  Does this sound correct?

Have a great day!

Dan
