Overview
Introduction to the Slang Platform and the developer documentation
The Slang Platform (aka Slang) enables businesses to add Voice Augmented eXperiences to their mobile apps. A Voice Augmented eXperience (VAX) enhances the visual and touch based experience of mobile apps using voice technologies, enabling end-users to interact with the these apps using voice as well as touch. Think of it like having an Alexa or a Siri embedded inside apps, deeply integrated with the internals, while working seamlessly with the existing touch-based experience of the apps.
What does Slang provide?
Slang provides all of the infrastructure necessary to add a multi-lingual, multi-modal voice experience to mobile apps. Specifically, Slang provides:
Automatic speech recognition
Natural language understanding
Support for multiple languages
Voice responses (greetings, prompts, confirmations, etc)
Platform-native UI elements for end-user interaction
Context sensitivity for multi-modal interactions (voice + touch)
Detailed analytics to comprehend end-user behavior
Slang delivers all of this infrastructure through two primary components:
The Slang Console for configuring business use-cases
Platform-specific SDK for integrating apps with the Console
