Nu Echo Announces General Availability of NuGram IDE ProfessionalEdition...

The lack of effective grammar development and testing tools has been one of the major challenges to the development of high-performance speech applications. Two months ago, Nu Echo took a significant first step towards filling this very important gap with the launch of NuGram IDE Basic Edition. NuGram IDE is a fully-integrated, Eclipse-based, grammar development environment used to create, debug, optimize and maintain static and dynamic grammars.

This launch has been received with rave reviews from the developer community. For instance, here'ss a comment from a developer in Germany: I would like to say thank you for the useful product you are offering. It really facilitates grammar development and I could have already made use of such software much earlier!

Similarly, a US-based user recently commented as follows: I am thoroughly impressed with your product so far. I am very excited to be using it to deliver higher-quality and better-tested grammars to our clients!

Two months after launching NuGram IDE Basic Edition, Nu Echo is now launching NuGram IDE Professional Edition, as well as NuGram Server. Targeted at serious developers and professional services organizations with rigorous development processes, NuGram IDE Professional Edition offers all the features of the Basic Edition, plus:

> A collection of advanced features that provide significant added value and further increase development productivity and grammar quality.

> All the batch tools required in order to support application build processes or scheduled grammar update processes.

> A development version of NuGram Server, which makes it possible to test dynamic grammars with any speech application.

> Access to the download site, upgrades, and support tickets.

NuGram Server is a robust and scalable engine that offers runtime services to speech-enabled applications through a simple HTTP-based protocol. Its architecture makes it readily usable by all speech-enabled applications, as well as text applications. It also offers flexible control over grammar caching strategies to optimize the use of ASR resources. NuGram Server currently supports the following services:

> Instantiation and generation - Using this service, dynamic grammars are instantiated and converted to the desired format (ABNF, GrXML, etc.).

> Interpretation - Using this service, textual sentences are parsed using static or dynamically-generated grammars and the resulting semantic interpretation is returned.

The NuGram Platform value proposition can be summarized quite simply: Increased productivity, reduced costs, accelerated time to market, and improved application performance. Increased productivity is achieved thanks to:

> A powerful editor that greatly accelerates development and flags errors as they'sre being made.

> An integrated suite of analysis, testing, and debugging tools that makes it easy to find problems early - and fix them.

> The use of a single development environment regardless of the target speech engine, which minimizes the learning curve and enhances portability.

> The ability to use the same environment for both static and dynamic grammars, which enhances the application development process by enabling grammar developers to focus on all the grammars in an application, while application developers focus on implementing the dialog.

> The fact that it'ss an Eclipse plug-in, which makes it easy to integrate with most speech application development environments.

NuGram reduces costs and time to market by accelerating grammar development and making it possible to detect and fix most grammar problems before deployment, therefore minimizing costly fix and redeployment loops. Additionally, for dynamic grammars, NuGram Server saves the cost of developing and maintaining an in-house, often application-specific, solution.
