Description
This tag automatically generates a prompt describing menu selections (see the <choice> tag) or field options (see the <option> tag).

The contents of <enumerate> is a prompt which is executed as if it were enclosed within a <prompt> tag. This prompt is repeated once for each choice or option in the order they are written within the menu or field. Two special variables are available: _prompt, which is replaced by the value of the <choice> or <option> tag, and _dtmf, which is replaced by the touch-tone digit which was assigned to that choice or option. To include _prompt or _dtmf in the prompt, use a <value> tag. If the <enumerate> tag is empty, the browser constructs a default template for the prompt. This default is not defined by the VoiceXML language, it is browser-dependent.
