Method and system for modifying the behavior of an application based upon the application's grammar

An apparatus comprising:

• a general purpose computer including associated memory storage;
• a voice application platform adapted for receiving a unit of input information from an application, said voice application platform including a speech recognizer for recognizing speech as a function of said unit of input information;
• and
• an command processor adapted for analyzing a first unit of input information and identifying a characteristic of said first unit of information received by said voice application platform and for replacing said first unit of information with a second unit of input information selected as a function of said characteristic.

An apparatus comprising:

• a general purpose computer including associated memory storage;
• a voice application platform adapted for receiving a unit of input information from and sending a response to an application, said voice application platform including a speech recognizer for recognizing speech as a function of said unit of input information;
• and
• a command processor adapted for analyzing a first unit of input information and identifying a characteristic of a first unit of input information input into said voice application platform and for selecting a response to be sent to said application as a function of said characteristic.

An apparatus comprising:

• general purpose computing means for processing data, including associated memory means for storing data;
• voice application platform means for receiving a unit of input information from an application, said voice application platform means including a speech recognition means for recognizing speech as a function of said unit of input information;
• and
• command processing means for analyzing a first unit of input information and identifying a characteristic of said first unit of input information received by said voice application platform means and for modifying said first unit of information as a function of said characteristic.
