Draft: a speech recognition telephone call-flow

Read it aloud!

(Or better, have an assistant read it aloud while you don't look at the screen.)



We really need to put some fruit in your lunch.

Sorry, but you have to choose one.

I can give you: peaches, mandarin oranges, or an apple.

Which will it be?

(short pause)

If you don't pick one now, I'll have to give you peaches.
