Motorola to unveil phone-Net link. Read this: (DVNTF territory??) (Looks like anonymous certificates would be a must here...) news.com Motorola to unveil phone-Net link By Erich Luening Staff Writer, CNET News.com September 30, 1998, 9:05 a.m. PT update Motorola today announced a new technology to let people use telephones and simple voice commands to get information from the Internet, the company said. The Schaumberg, Illinois-based electronics company hopes to make a new programming language, called VoxML, an industry standard that other companies will also use to write voice-activated software for pulling content from the World Wide Web. Motorola said VoxML makes it easier for companies to let consumers get information such as personal-banking records, weather forecasts, or internal company information over phones and computers using natural voice commands. Applications utilizing VoxML will also allow people to access online information such as sports scores, stock quotes, and internal company information over wireless phones or computers using natural voice commands. "This language enables developers to leverage their existing Web application skills to tap into new distribution channels and reach emerging markets and revenue streams," Maria Martinez, Motorola ICSD general manager and vice president, said in a statement. Several content providers, including The Weather Channel, CBS MarketWatch.com, Traffic Station Group, Biztravel.com, astrology.net, and SmartRoute, have already embraced VoxML as the ideal method of extending the reach of their content services, the company said. Developers can obtain a software development kit--which includes a VoxML language specification, a VoxML simulator for applications development, and several example applications--from Motorola by downloading it from the company's Web site.

Motorola - Providing access to the Web when people are away from their desktop: voxml.mot.com The VoxML markup language for voice applications allows developers to simply and easily add speech interfaces to their Web applications or content. The VoxML language uses Internet technologies and standards - so developing VoxML applications is similar to developing Web applications. VoxML applications are written in the form of dialogues - allowing users to interact naturally with the application. These dialogues are interpreted by voice browsers - just as HTML pages are interpreted by web browsers. Now, people can connect with Internet information from any telephone or voice-enabled device. VoxML applications are hosted on standard Web servers. So, adding voice interfaces to existing Web sites is simple and straightforward. VoxML technology gives Web Application Providers opportunities to reach new distribution channels and potential new revenue streams by providing access to the Web when people are away from their desktop. More specific information about the VoxML language is available on the About VoxML page of this site.
