Brian,
On first glace this seems like an omission. However, the native
capability in vxml to do this using the count attribute in the prompt tag
isn¹t applicable to our method of managing caller state within a dialog.
Each turn experienced by the caller will generate a request from the server
for a new vxml document. Although this document can effectively be the
same dialog being repeated, the use of the count attribute isn¹t available.
On the other hand, this architecture provides immense flexibility in how
the caller experience unfolds. You are right though, as a result some of
the tools of a VUI designer are out of easy reach for the time being. The
workaround Randy suggested is only one of many that can be employed
depending on how you want to structure your application or the needs of the
VUI. If you could illustrate the use case where you were going to utilize
this, I could recommend one that would require the least amount of effort.
One proposed solution to this is to add a simulated count mechanism to
the UI and manage the state transitions and prompt selection within the
runtime. For all intents and purposes, this would present an interface to
the application developer that is very close to representing the native
functionality. However, there are a few other proposals on the table that
solve this issue as well. When we move towards implementing that feature,
we¹ll be gleefully debating the merits of all of them. I certainly invite
you to join those discussions and would love to hear any other feedback you
have as well.
