    ...there's a good discussion of VoiceXML and various other accessibility enablers by Charles McCathieNevile in this presentation.

    I use VoiceXML for our IVR response system. IBM has an implementation, Cisco has an implementation. There are open source implementations. There are quite a few implementations actually, in very wide use.
