Dialog Designer Elements are a series of reusable modules for use with Avaya Dialog Designer, providing the following plug-in capabilities for speech applications using directed dialogs:

• Alpha-numeric input
• Confirmation (Yes/No)
• Credit Card Information collection, including card type, expiration date and security code
• Date, including support for both speech and touchtone input methods
• Individual Digits ("zero" through "nine"), which can easily be used to add speech navigation to existing touchtone based IVR applications without significant application redesign
• Numbers ("fifteen", "three hundred twenty seven", etc.)
• Phone Number
• Time, including "a.m." and "p.m." indicators
• ZIP Code collection

Use of Dialog Designer Elements can potentially save developers hundreds of hours in development and test time. Furthermore, Dialog Designer Elements can be easily adapted using Avaya Dialog Designer, and re-used across multiple application projects, shortening overall development cycles while lowering costs.

Avaya Dialog Designer is an open standards-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for voice self-service applications. Based on the widely accepted Eclipse.org development framework, Dialog Designer offers application developers a drag-and-drop environment for creation, testing, deployment and maintenance of both speech and touch-tone applications.
