Telephony services using VoiceXML

VoiceXML is one of the newest recommendations of the W3C designed for

the description of voice controlled dialogs, thus trying to introduce

the advantages of WWW in the world of telephony. A “side-effect” of

this recommendation can be the interconnection of WWW and telephony.

Voice browsers are accessible through any phone set, and provide an

easy and standardised base for the development of novel voice-based

applications. The EU sponsored PublicVoiceXML project completed the

implementation of a free open source voice browser. Within this

project the Department of Distributed Systems (DSD) of MTA SZTAKI

implemented several examples of applications accessible both via

phone and the Internet. DSD also co-ordinates the international

development of the free PublicVoiceXML software.
