Computerworld - VoiceXML
Voice Extensible Markup Language (VoiceXML) Version 2.0
W3C Working Draft, October 23, 2001
This World Wide Web Consortium working draft describes the emerging VoiceXML standard. Among other things, VoiceXML represents a common way to create "audio dialogs that feature synthesized speech, digitized audio, recognition of spoken and DTMF key input, recording of spoken input, telephony, and mixed-initiative conversations," according to the Web site. VoiceXML's primary focus isn't audio indexing but rather interactive voice response applications.
