Using the Visual Composer Voice Kit 

You use the Visual Composer Voice Kit to model, deploy, test, and validate voice-enabled applications. The Visual Composer is a NetWeaver portal application and runs on your browser in the Composition Environment (CE).

Voice Kit Modeling Features

NetWeaver Voice extends the capabilities of the Visual Composer to enable modeling of voice applications. It provides a complete codeless implementation of a fully interactive voice-enabled application.

The Voice Kit includes these features:

●      Back-end access (general Visual Composer feature)

●      Data manipulations (extended Visual Composer feature)

●      Dialog elements (Voice Kit specific feature)

●      Dialog flow (Voice Kit specific feature)

The Voice Kit also provides general Visual Composer support for:

·        Search

You use this function to locate back-end services of various types and voice component models.

·        Deploy

You use this function to deploy a model to the runtime environment.

·        Debug

You use this function to view information that provides insights into the model's runtime behavior.

You do not have to be an experienced voice-application designer, nor do you have to be familiar with the VoiceXML programming language to model a voice application.

Voice Entities

The Voice Kit introduces a set of voice-specific entities, displayed in the Design View task panel, that can be configured for the required behaviors. These entities are connected in the workspace by lines.

In the Voice Kit these lines represent the flow of control or sequence, not the flow of data as in other Visual Composer kits.

The Voice-Kit Storyboard Desktop

The Visual Composer Storyboard desktop is a client-side, browser-based interactive graphical user interface that provides all the tools required for modeling applications. The Visual Composer Voice Kit uses the Visual Composer Storyboard to perform all modeling tasks.

You should be familiar with the Visual Composer Storyboard desktop.

The following graphic depicts a Visual Composer Storyboard desktop showing a Voice Kit model:

The following table describes the major Storyboard desktop elements as they apply to the Voice Kit:

Visual Composer Element	Voice Kit Use
Storyboard desktop	The Visual Composer client in which you design voice-application models
Task panel	The work area of the Storyboard that displays a dynamic set of voice-application modeling tools A task-panel toolbar lets you choose the task panel to view.
Toolbox	A set of tools that assist in performing tasks in the Visual Composer workspace
Workspace	The workspace of the Storyboard in which voice-application models are displayed, created, and modified A toolbox helps you perform workspace tasks.
Model	A reusable voice application or voice component created in the Storyboard A voice model comprises a set of interconnected model entities that can include voice components.
Console	The area at the bottom of the Storyboard that shows system messages and warnings The console can be used to display a log of the current voice-modeling session also.
