Enable named field navigation (Browser)

You can enable specific text controls for named field navigation; this means a user can say a voice command to move directly to a specific text control.

For example, the text control for information on the past medical history of a patient could be associated with the 'medical history' concept. Users can then say go to medical history to reach this text control.

Prerequisites

You've speech-enabled a web page.

Procedure

Add the attribute data-nusa-concept-name to the control and set its value to the field name that the user should say; for example, data-nusa-concept-name="medical history".

The field name should reflect the intention of the UI text control. This is used as the field name that the user says as part of the built-in go to commands when navigating to that field.

Important information

Field names have a significant impact on the recognition of named voice commands; follow these recommendations to ensure successful navigation:

• Do not use:

  Abbreviations or book title capitalization.

  Punctuation marks (for example, ", !, ?, etc.)

  Symbols (for example, +, -, &, $, etc. - use words such as "and" instead of symbols such as "&")

  Digits (use 'twelve' and not '12')

  Full phrases such as move cursor to medical history. Use medical history instead.

• Use distinct and intuitive VUI concept names; avoid duplicate or similar sounding VUI concept names.

• Test named field navigation before releasing your integration.
