BASED ON THE W3C?s industry-standard XML, the VoiceXML 1.0 specification provides an intelligent API to speech and telephony applications for developers, service providers and equipment manufacturers. The W3C?s acceptance of VoiceXML 1.0 will accelerate and expand the reach of the Internet by ?voice enabling? Web content and services, VoiceXML Forum officials said. According to forum officials, standardization of VoiceXML will simplify the creation of personalized interactive voice-response services on the Web; allow voice and phone access to information and services on Web sites, call center databases and company intranets; and produce new voice-access devices. VoiceXML 1.0 is based on years of research and development at AT&T Corp., IBM, Lucent Technologies Inc. and Motorola Inc. along with comments from VoiceXML Forum supporters. Since the release of VoiceXML 1.0 in March, the forum has nearly doubled its membership to more than 150 companies. Earlier this month, the W3C?s Voice Browser Working Group agreed to adopt VoiceXML 1.0 as the basis for developing a W3C dialog markup language. The VoiceXML Forum will host the next meeting of the W3C Voice Browser Working Group in September. from techweb.
