New W3C Spec for Phone Networks
zscgeek writes "The W3C just released the first working draft of CCXML a new
XML based language designed to allow people to write advanced
phone control applications. The announcement is
here
and the specification is
here.
The cool thing about CCXML is that it provides advanced call control features that
were missing from VoiceXML so it allows lots of new applications that just were not
possible before with VoiceXML. It also integrates with VoiceXML so you can reuse
all your VoiceXML code.
Voxeo has also announced
an open beta of an implementation of it that you can
access at http://community.voxeo.com
so you can try this stuff out."
I created a little voicexml app with voxeo's free test network. Aside from having to call northern california to test it, the process was fun.
