Dear
Readers,
We
decided to combine the February and March issues of
VoiceXML Review - and for good reason. On February 21,
2002 the W3C published the Voice Browser Call Control:
CCXML 1.0 Working Draft Specification. The W3C has published
this draft in order to solicit input from the general
public. If you build VoiceXML applications that have
requirements beyond the simple telephony support afforded
in VoiceXML 1.0, you should get familiar with this specification
and share your suggestions on the Voice Browser Working
Group's public email list.
This
month we are fortunate to have feature articles contributed
by two individuals who play important technical leadership
roles within the VBWG's Call Control Subgroup.
Brad
Porter, who chairs the Call Control Subgroup, provides
us a summary (Call
Control Work Progressing Quickly in the W3C) of
the work that has been done in the past year in this
area, and spells out how it will fit into future versions
of VoiceXML.
In
our second feature article, R.J.
Auburn, editor of the CCXML 1.0 specification drills
down in the technical details of how CCXML works - complete
with numerous code examples. His article is titled Call
Control and Voice Apps: CCXML. By the way, this
stuff is real! RJ already has a beta implementation
of a CCXML interpreter, ready for you to try out!
In
our First
Words column this month, Rob
Marchand provides a handy "meta-list"
of online VoiceXML resources around the globe. Bookmark
this article, as it has great utility in finding where
the VoiceXML community hangs out on the Web.
Still
don't know the FIA from the CIA? Read this month's Speak
and Listen column by Jeff
Kunins, where he answers your questions on the VoiceXML
form interpretation algorithm, and how you do N-Best
recognition in VoiceXML.
Sincerely,
Jonathan
Engelsma
Editor-in-Chief, VoiceXML Review
