Hi is it possible to gather users name using the gather verb? I'm getting an application error, where can i read it's details? Can i use any "hint" to improve gathering names?

Twilio evangelist here.

You can set the input attribute on <Gather> to speech and then use the hints attribute to provide Gather with a set of words or phrases that can make its speech to text conversion more accurate.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- page located at http://example.com/simple_gather.xml -->
<Response>
    <Gather input="speech" action="/completed" hints="number, numbers, more number facts, more numbers facts">
        <Say>Welcome to Twilio, please tell us why you're calling</Say>
    </Gather>
</Response>

Hope that helps.
