This is the fifth of several tutorial topics covering development of speech applications using Speech Server. This tutorial creates a smaller version of the sample application Survey (Managed Code Sample).
Populate the Prompt Database
Use Speech Prompt Editor to create, record, and edit prompts, which are then stored in a database as .wav files for use by one or more speech applications. Speech Prompt Editor makes it easy to work with a recording studio or other development teams because the database itself is portable between projects and supports importing and exporting both .wav files and prompt text.
The prompt database is added by default to new speech projects. The first task is to open Speech Prompt Editor and populate the database, using the prompt text already entered in speech workflow activities in Creating the Dialog Workflow.
To populate the prompt database
In Solution Explorer, double-click Prompts.promptdb.
On the Prompt Editor toolbar, click Prompt Validation.
On the Prompt Validation toolbar, click Do Validate Project.
In the Solution Prompt Validation dialog box, select SurveyTutorial, and then click OK.
After validation is complete and results are available, click Add All to Database on the Prompt Validation toolbar.
Click a row in the prompt database, and then click Recording Tool on the Prompt Editor toolbar.
Use the Recording Tool to record your prompts.
