Elvira
- a VoiceXML Platform for Research
By Pavel Cenek
Research
in the field of dialogue systems often involves creating
an experimental application, which is used for testing
new ideas, statistical data collection, various measurements,
performance tests, etc. A significant amount of time
is spent on the creation of such an application before
the scientific work itself can start.

Community
Radio Stations use publicVoiceXML
By Roland Alton-Scheidl
PublicVoiceXML
(http://www.publicVoiceXML.org) is both, the name of
a VoiceXML 2.0 compliant browser and the name of a trial
project with European community radio stations, who
are evaluating VoiceXML technology for their day-to-day
business. Some of them, such as Vienna's community radio
station Orange 94.0, have contributed to the user requirements
phase and have been successfully integrating VoiceXML
into their content management and remote journalists
management system. The trial activity, which started
on March 1st 2002 and which will be lasting until August
2003, is partially supported by the Information Society
Technology Program of the European Commission as one
out of seven Open Source lead projects.

OpenVXI:
Fostering VoiceXML via Open Source
By Brian Eberman
SpeechWorks
has provided an open source VoiceXML interpreter since
April of 2001 to reduce barriers for developers considering
building VoiceXML solutions. SpeechWorks partnered with
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to make OpenVXI software
available from the CMU site
(http://fife.speech.cs.cmu.edu/openvxi/index.html),
as well as to host and archive a mailing list. Since
its inception, almost 1,500 individual downloads of
OpenVXI have occurred. The mailing list has also seen
significant activity with the open source community
participating to assist with technical issues or provide
comments and suggestions for enhancements.
