Enhancing VoiceXML Application Performance By Caching
By
Dave Burke
In
this article we will discuss how caching can be used
to enhance the performance of VoiceXML applications.
Caching is a strategy for storing temporary 'objects'
(e.g. VoiceXML resources) local to the VoiceXML Interpreter
that can be employed by the application developer for
optimising these latencies. In what follows we will
use the phrase 'origin server' to denote the application
hosting environment, and 'user agent' to refer to the
VoiceXML Interpreter and Implementation Platform.

Standardizing
VoiceXML Generation Tools
By David L. Thomson
An
area where we have an opportunity to make VoiceXML easier
to use and more portable is in development and runtime
tools. VoiceXML provides two significant advantages
in authoring speech-enabled applications, when compared
to previous methods. It allows a developer to build
speech services with less effort and it allows applications
written for one speech platform to run on another speech
platform. These advantages are diminished, however,
if software tools used to create and support VoiceXML
code are inadequate or incompatible. The VoiceXML Tools
Committee, under the direction of the VoiceXML Forum,
has been working on methods for improving the quality
and uniformity of tools as described in this article.
