1. A method for constructing speech elements within an interface comprising:
- identifying a visual interface having a plurality of visual elements;
presenting visual selectors proximate each of the visual elements, wherein the visual selectors permit a user to input a speech control type for the associated visual element; and
for each presented visual selector, automatically generating a speech element having a speech control type specified in the visual selector.

Abstract
A method for constructing speech elements within an interface can include a step of identifying a visual interface having multiple visual elements. Visual selectors can be presented proximate each of the visual elements. The visual selectors can permit a user to input a speech control type for the associated visual element. For each presented visual selector, a speech element having a speech control type specified in the visual selector can be automatically generated.

15. A software development application comprising:
-
a visual design window for designing visual elements of a visual interface and for automatically generating programmatic instructions associated with designed visual elements;
a selector enabled window configured to graphically display the visual elements, wherein at least a portion of the displayed elements are associated with displayed visual selectors, wherein each visual selector permits a user of the software development application to input a speech control type; and
a SUI element generation engine for automatically generating SUI elements corresponding to each GUI element that is associated with a visual selector, wherein each generated SUI element has a speech control type as specified by the visual selector. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A graphical user interface comprising:
-
a window for rendering markup written in a visual markup language;
a plurality of visual selectors graphically rendered in the window that are not specified in the visual markup language, wherein each visual selector corresponds to a visual element displayed in the window, wherein each visual selector permits a user to designate a speech control type, wherein for each visual selector, a speech-enabled element is automatically generated that has the designated speech control type, and wherein automatically generated markup written in a speech-enabled markup language is created for each of the speech-enabled elements. - View Dependent Claims (20)
