Is VoiceXML an open industry standard?
The VoiceXML 1.0 specification has not yet been officially ordained by the W3C as a “standard”, but it’s the only such language that is both undergoing standardization and that has widespread industry support. In addition to the four founding partners, the VoiceXML forum and the VoiceXML specification is supported by almost 200 companies including 3Com, Ericcson, France Telecom, General Magic, Hewlett Packard, Interactive Telesis, Nortel, Oracle, Siemens, Speechworks International and of course, Tellme. In fact, multiple companies have already developed, or are committed to developing, VoiceXML-based platforms. These include Tellme, Nuance, Speechworks, IBM, Motorola and Lucent.
