To enable speech recognition, change the main speech parameter. The “speech” parameter can get three values, “yes”, “automatic”, “no” or “emulation” (don’t generate errors if you enable speech grammars).

…
speech=automatic
speechprovider=verbio

In the VoiceXML browser configuration file:

client.rec.resource.0.cacheDir              VXIString   /tmp/cacheContent
client.rec.resource.0.format                VXIString   txt
