Dynamic grammar for voice-enabled applications

An apparatus comprising a storage medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions including:

• a first code segment for activating a first grammar associated with a first category;
• a second code segment for activating a first data entry mechanism associated with the first category;
• a third code segment for receiving first voice data;
• a fourth codes segment for selecting a portion of the first grammar corresponding to the first voice data for input into the first data entry mechanism;
• a fifth code segment for deactivating the first grammar;
• a sixth code segment for activating a second grammar associated with a second category;
• a seventh code segment for activating a second data entry mechanism associated with the second category;
• an eighth code segment for receiving second voice data;
• and
• a ninth code segment for selecting a portion of the second grammar corresponding to the second voice data for input into the second data entry mechanism.

A system comprising:

• a first storage area operable to store a first grammar;
• a second storage area operable to store a second grammar, the second grammar being independent from the first grammar;
• a grammar activation and deactivation system operable to activate the first grammar and ensure that the second grammar is simultaneously inactive;
• a voice-recognition system operable to input spoken data and match the spoken data against a corresponding portion of the first grammar;
• and
• an input indication system operable to indicate the corresponding portion of the first grammar to a user.
