VoiceForm Versioning

VoiceCheck version 1.7 and above includes VoiceForm versioning capability. New versions of existing VoiceForms can be created, imported, and exported using this feature. The VoiceForm versions are immutable, which means that any changes made to the default VoiceForm will not be applied to other versions of the same form. This includes changes to any referenced steps, plans, or conditions related to an assignment. See Create and Edit VoiceForms and VoiceForm and VoicePlan Web Services topics for more information.

Section Looping

During Plan creation, steps required for inspecting items are added to a section. This section can be flagged as a looping section to enable repeating of the steps as an iteration of the section. New looping iterations are created when an operator selects "Yes" on the looping prompt. On each iteration of the section, all the included steps will be executed. The looping prompt ends when the operator selects "No" at the looping prompt.

See Edit Selected Plan for more information on looping.

Talkman devices can not execute Assignments that contain looping sections. This feature is only available when using the Android application and VoiceCheck 1.7 or above.

Learn more about these features from the Android Getting Started page.

Threshold settings for these words can also be adjusted using this feature.

Support for Parts Functionality in Android

The Android application now supports parts functionality. The parts section of the application begin when all steps in a section have been completed or skipped. A part is similar to a section and is a set of steps that are grouped together. Use the same commands, including "Skip Step", "Skip Section", "Undo Last Entry", and "Does Not Apply," just like when working in a normal section.

MDM Support for Android

The Voice Inspection Android application now supports Mobile Device Management. Using an in-house mobile device management (MDM) system, administrators can upload a JSON configuration file to devices used by end users of the mobile application. This way users do not need to configure a URL. Learn how to use this feature from the Mobile App Settings page.

VoiceCheck Application Improvements

In VoiceCheck, a field showing time spent has been added to Assignment and VoicePlan steps. This shows how much time was actually spent working on a step. This feature tracks accumulated time spent on a step in situations such as skipping a step or undoing the last entry, or visiting a step multiple times. Changes have also been made to conditions, which are now available on sections and steps in sections from the plan editor.

VoiceCheck 1.4

The following features were introduced in VoiceCheck 1.4. For information on additional features in this version of VoiceCheck, refer to the release notes.

Japanese support for Android

This release added Japanese support for the Android application.

Spoken Long List

Users can train individual templates for list items using speaker independent functionality. Use the following guidelines when creating templates for spoken lists.

• List items may be 75 characters or less.
• Speaker-independent templates can only support up to two-digit numbers.
• List items with the following special characters can not be trained:

| ? < " : > + [ ] / ' *

Use caution when using other special characters such as a comma (,) as they can be spoken or unspoken and users might not know the difference.

For example, the list item “red, blue” would generate a template so that the user could speak “red blue”. However, if the list item was “red , blue” (with an extra space before the comma), the user would need to speak “red comma blue” for the list item to be recognized.

VoiceCheck 1.3

The following features were introduced in VoiceCheck 1.3. For information on additional features in this version of VoiceCheck, refer to the VoiceCheck 1.3 Release Notes.

Prompt Templates

VoiceCheck now offers Prompt Templates. Prompts are defined for each step in an inspection assignment based on the nature of the expected response from the technician. Prompt templates allow you to save these steps and import or export them with VoiceForms to be used in other systems.

See the Prompt Templates section to learn more about this feature.

Template Management

VoiceCheck and Android users now have the ability to manage operator templates. A different set of templates can be stored based on the locale of the TTS being run. This allows an operator to have multiple sets of templates for each locale they may run.

See Manage Operator Templates for information on how to use this feature.

Reporting and Printing for Assignments

Send assignments to a printer and create reports for assignments.

See the View and Print Assignment Reports page to learn more about this feature.
