VoxML 1.0 Element Reference
HELP Element
HELP Element
The HELP enables the application developer to define the behavior of the VoxML application when the user asks for help. If the application developer does not define the behavior of HELP for a given STEP, the system default behavior will be used.
The HELP element, like CANCEL the element, can be invoked through a variety of phrases. The user may say only the word “help”, or the user may say “I would like help, please.” In either case, the HELP element will be interpreted.
The default behavior for the HELP element is to stop the PROMPT (if one is playing), speak the phrase “No help is available.”, remain in the current STEP, and process any interactive INPUTs.
The HELP element can be contained within a STEP or a CLASS element.
