### Notes

The repeat-prob attribute will only work if a root rule has been specified for the grammar as a whole. For examples and usage information, please refer to the [Speech Recognition Grammar Specification](http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/CR-speech-grammar-20020626/).

#### Example <a href="#example" id="example"></a>

```markup
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="2.0">
  <form>
    <field name="animal">
      <grammar type="application/srgs+xml" root="ROOT" mode="voice">
        <rule id="ROOT">
          <one-of>
            <item>Dog</item>
            <item>Cat</item>
          </one-of>
        </rule>
      </grammar>
      <prompt>
        Say either dog or cat.
      </prompt>
      <filled>
        <prompt>
          You said <value expr="animal"/>. Goodbye.
        </prompt>
        <exit/>
      </filled>
    </field>
  </form>
</vxml>
```

The output of the above script would be:

> Computer: Say either dog or cat.\
> Human: Dog.\
> Computer: You said dog. Goodbye.
