Hi All
my apologies everyone. That last note to Uday was not supposed to go to

Hi Uday,
hope you are doing well.
Seeing this topic brought up and old issue from my days at Mot. One
of the means which I used to document a VUI was a Visio spec format
which I came up with - to show the complete dialog spec. This of
course is always a challenge with error legs, options, etc. We had a
pretty decent way to show when different grammars were to be loaded,
prompts, GUI prompts etc. One challenge is how to best document a
multimodal VUI+GUI (or +touch) application. What means have you used
for these types of apps? By multimodal, I mean the capability to
start the app in one modality, switch to the other - like starting off
in voice, adding something via the GUI (or touch) and perhaps
finishing the next app state in voice, etc. That is an interesting
problem and have not seen any "standard" way of capturing that design
info.
Please give my regards to Ali - I hope they are able to open up the
reqs sometime.
best,

Yep I totally agree. That would be awesome! We're suffering from
massive spec fatigue with different flavors for the different teams,
etc. Having a "blessed" format would be helpful on many levels!
Also as part of that perhaps achieving some coherence on best
practices to review, update, disseminate such specs with non-design
partners (like QA, dev, back-end, etc.). Not to mention primer
lessons for those folks to read and interpret UI specs, setting their
expectations on level of detail, type of content, etc.
Anyway, count me in...

I've always felt interface designers lack a good means to spec their
work. A "blessed" format that comes from the industry would go a
long ways towards bringing even more creditability to the profession
as a whole.
