The JSpeech Grammar Format  is textual representation of grammars for use in speech recognition. JSGF was posted as a Note to the W3C by Sun Microsystems in June 2000.   JSGF adopts the style and conventions of the Java(tm) Programming Language in addition to use of traditional grammar notations.

Grammars are used by speech recognizers to determine what the recognizer should listen for, and so describe the utterances a user may say.   JSGF a rule grammar (also known as a command and control grammar or regular grammar). A rule grammar specifies the types of utterances a user might say (a spoken utterance is similar to a written sentence). For example, a simple window control grammar might listen for "open a file", "close the window", and similar commands. What the user can say depends upon the context.  It could be a grammar for reading a credit card number or for controlling email. Applications know the context, so applications are responsible for providing a speech recognizer with appropriate grammars.  JSpeech uses a textual representation that is readable and editable by both developers and computers, and can be included in source code.
