Abstract
A root grammar is provided to facilitate navigation between speech centric applications in a communications network. The root grammar may be constructed from the application grammars of the supported applications. During recognition processing, the root grammar may be combined with a current application'"'"'s active grammar to produce a composite grammar. Audio communications recognized as part of the composite grammar may be used to service the current application, to navigate between applications, and/or to access different parts or documents of applications directly without navigating through intervening levels. In particular, from a user'"'"'s perspective, another application or document referenced by the root grammar may be accessed directly, as opposed to employing a lengthier navigation process.
