However, contrary to what might be claimed by VoiceXML enthusiasts (including those who sell VoiceXML services), it is not the perfect tool for every project. Just as there is no perfect programming language for every software application or perfect database for every database application, there is no perfect platform choice for all voice-enabled... http://www.developer.com/voice/article.php/1569351 By Jonathan Eisenzopf Go to page: 1 2 3 4 Next If you want to develop VoiceXML applications but don't know where to start, this guide is for you. This 8-step guide contains all the information you need to start developing and deploying VoiceXML applications--prior experience is not required.

Not just those nifty WAP-enabled "Web phones", mind you, but the plain old clunky home models that you might use to order a pizza or talk to your Aunt Mable. While HTML presumes a graphical user interface to access information, VoiceXML presumes an audio interface where speech and keypad tones take the place of the screen, keyboard,... http://www.developer.com/voice/article.php/1565381 By Jonathan Eisenzopf Go to page: 1 2 Next This technical series will provide programmers with a complete introduction to the VoiceXML 2.0 grammar format. In part I, we will discuss the XML and ABNF formats, as well as the structure and elements included in a VXML 2.0 document. Overview Grammars define the words and sentences (or touch-tone DTMF input) that can be recognized by a VoiceXML application. One big drawback of VoiceXML 1.0 was that it lacked a standard speech recognition... http://www.developer.com/voice/article.php/1565481 By Hitesh Seth Go to page: 1 2 Next Introduction I had the opportunity of reviewing a number of different tools for developing and testing VoiceXML applications.
