Use bookmarks in Speech Server to handle bargein with prompts. When bargein includes a recognized word, use the recognition result to continue the dialog flow. However, if the bargein utterance is something like "that one" or "yes," use a bookmark to initiate an event and identify the point in the prompt that the user barged in.

Creating Bookmarks

Bookmarks are labels that identify the boundaries between works in a prompt database. Bookmarks are created when a prompt database is compiled. For more information, see Compile Prompt Databases.

Using Bookmarks

Access bookmarks in code, using either SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language), VoiceXML, or managed code as explained in the following sections.

SSML

To implement bookmarks in SSML, use the ssml:mark Element.

VoiceXML

To implement bookmarks in VoiceXML, use the ssml:mark element. For more information, see VoiceXML 2.0, Section 4.
