The prompt Element - <prompt>

Description:
The prompt element controls the output of synthesized speech and prerecorded audio. Conceptually, prompts are instantaneously queued for playing, so interpretation proceeds until the user needs to provide an input. At this point, the prompts are played, and the system waits for user input. Once the input is received from the speech recognition subsystem (or the DTMF recognizer), interpretation proceeds.

Example:

<prompt>Please say your city.</prompt>
