Utterance Recordings

Vocera automatically records the spoken utterances of individuals when they interact with the Genie.

You can use these recorded utterances to help identify and resolve speech recognition problems.

Vocera records utterances during the following Genie interactions:

Vocera creates a directory named \vocera\nuance\callLogs\MyApp at the root of the drive where the Vocera Voice Server is installed. The system then records utterances and log files within this structure.

The directory tree within MyApp\ is [Year]\[Month]\[Day]\[Hour]. For example, the directory \vocera\nuance\callLogs\MyApp\2014\07July\17\20 contains utterances recorded on 17 July 2014, between 8:00 and 9:00 pm.

Each directory contains .wav files for the user utterances and a log file. The log file contains information that Vocera can use to troubleshoot problems. The .wav files frequently contain information you can use to troubleshoot speech recognition problems yourself.

This directory structure contains a set of files that are named similar to the following:

NUAN-26-24-VS-209-VM-W2012-deb948cafef0b922ab2287bacf762a9b@10.98.2.209-Manfred_Morgan-LOG NUAN-26-24-VS-209-VM-W2012-deb948cafef0b922ab2287bacf762a9b@10.98.2.209-Manfred_Morgan-utt001-POSTEP.wav NUAN-26-24-VS-209-VM-W2012-deb948cafef0b922ab2287bacf762a9b@10.98.2.209-Manfred_Morgan-utt002-POSTEP.wav NUAN-26-24-VS-209-VM-W2012-deb948cafef0b922ab2287bacf762a9b@10.98.2.209-Manfred_Morgan-utt003-POSTEP.wav
