The animated TECHTip Tutorial is available here.

In this tutorial, we present the network protocols and software architecture used in Voice-based SALT & SOAP applications.

SALT consists of a series of software applications meta-tags that are captured, interpreted and respond to audio-voice and DTMF [Dual Tone Multi-Frequency] (touch tone) input. SALT will use RPC [Remote Procedure Calls], also known as an API [Applications Programming Interface], to activate database applications.

An example would be to use voice commands to retrieve benefits information. An RPC is a software programming function that allow one software program to activate (call function) another software program. An RPC can start a software program to begin (dial a modem), retrieve information or other function.

RPCs are used to allow third-party programmers to start functions (dial phone) without giving their access to source code (human readable). RPCs simplify integration of one computer program with another.
