Overview

The Grammar Editor is a multi-tab editor for speech recognition grammars and other associated resources. The Grammar Editor currently consists of:

• A text editor for the ABNF grammar itself.
• A structured editor for instantiation contexts (see below).
• A structured editor for the grammar coverage testset.

Contexts

An instantiation context (or context for short) is a mapping associating global variable names of a dynamic grammar template to specific values. A context is thus used to produce a dynamically-generated speech recognition grammar from a dynamic grammar template (this process is called the instantiation of the dynamic grammar template).

Instantiation contexts are usually used at voice-enabled application run time to generate grammars, but also at grammar development and maintenance time to test the dynamic grammar template.
