1. A computer-implemented method of ordering recognition results produced by an automatic speech recognition (‘

  • ASR’

    ) engine for a multimodal application, the method implemented with a grammar of the multimodal application in the ASR engine, with the multimodal application operating in a multimodal browser on a multimodal device supporting multiple modes of interaction including a voice mode and one or more non-voice modes, the multimodal application operatively coupled to the ASR engine through a VoiceXML interpreter, the method comprising;

    receiving, in the VoiceXML interpreter from the multimodal application, a voice utterance;

    determining, by the VoiceXML interpreter using the ASR engine, a plurality of recognition results in dependence upon the voice utterance and the grammar;

    determining, by the VoiceXML interpreter according to semantic interpretation scripts of the grammar, a weight for each recognition result; and

    sorting, by the VoiceXML interpreter, the plurality of recognition results in dependence upon the weight for each recognition result.
