VoiceXML Platform Certification Program Launched

Posted by timothy on from the cert-should-be-a-sound-file dept.

ChilliNuts writes "The VoiceXML Forum has announced the launch of its VoiceXML Platform Certification Program, in a bid to enforce cross-vendor conformance to VoiceXML 2.0, W3C's XML-based Voice Recognition language. Many Voice Recognition companies have been adopting VoiceXML in the past two years, and this is due to strengthened expectations that it will soon become industry standard. Good news for developers. Plus further proof that Open Standards work! Here's the Press Release"

    CCXML is pretty much a single vendor open standard
    Not true - many companies in the W3C Voice Browser Group have been working on the spec and are due to adopt it. CCXML is currently only a Working Draft, but its tightening up quickly

    Don't suppose this is leading to standards in other voice technologies?

    Why does voice recognition need standards anyway? It might be nice to have portable devices be able to easily pass it off to a central computer for the really intensive stuff but that doesn't really seem like something they need to collaborate on.

    Outside program sends frequencies most useful for voice recognition, home base analyses all frequencies problem solved.
