I just thought of another way to implement this without changing RavenClaw:<br>
<p class="MsoNormal">Add another server ProcessRawData which receives the raw data input (in parallel with the parser)<br>
ProcessRawData outputs the input text in the format of the Parser:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">[RawText] ( the typed in text )<br>
<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The output is passed to the DialogManager.process_parse message<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The the text will bind to all concept that are expected in the [RawText] grammar mapping.<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know your thoughts on this.<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">thank you<br>
Svetlana<br>

Dan, thank you for your answer. I have another question. <br>
<p>We are interested in the functionality where a free text can
be entered through TTY (or through free speech recognition). </p>
<p>For example, a user can be asked to describe the event. The
grammar for this description is not available, so we want to store all of the
typed ( or recognized) text, and/or a URL of the recorded speech <span> </span>into the concept in a dialog manager. </p>
<p>We need to bypass the parser. I would need to make changes
to the RavenClaw to accommodate this, right?</p>
<p>Currently the user input from the TTY (or ASR) <span> </span>is processed by the parser. </p>
<p> The control flow is determined by the .pgm file. This entry
causes it to call process_parse when an output from the parser is available:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>;; If we have a confidence annotated hypothesis, but<br>
;; no parse, call phoenix to parse it<br>
;; ---<br>
RULE: :confhyps & !:parses --> phoenix.phoenixparse<br>
IN: :confhyps :npow :pow :clip_info<br>
OUT: :total_numparses :parses :input_source<br>
LOG_OUT: :parses</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I plan to add another entry:</p>
<p> ;; If we have a confidence annotated hypothesis, but<br>
;; no parse, call DM directly<br>
;; ---<br>
RULE: :confhyps & !:parses --> DM.process_raw<br>
IN: :confhyps :npow :pow :clip_info<br>
OUT:<br>
LOG_OUT:<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>Add process_raw() to </p>
<p>Libraries/RavenClaw/DMInterfaces/GalaxyInterfaceFunctions.h& implement in GalaxyInterface.cpp<br>
</p>
<p>process_raw() function will be called whenever an output
from the TTY (or ASR) is received. So, this output will go to both parser and
DialogManager.process_raw.<br>
process_raw() <span> </span>assigns
the text to a concept (but only in the case when the concept is currently expected):<br>
For every expected concept as compiled by <span style="font-size: 10pt;">CDMCoreAgent::compileExpectationAgenda():<br>
</span>If a concept is a "raw speech" concept, <span> </span>set its value to the raw text received in an <span> </span>input frame <span> </span>to process_raw <br>
I would have to add a type to a concept to indicate that it
allows "raw text" input.</p>
<p><br>
Does this implementation plan make sense? </p>
<p>Could you please make any suggestions?</p>
<p>Jahanzeb must have done something similar because his
application can record user's input. Do you know how that was implemented?</p>
<p> </p>
Thank you,<br><span class="sg">
