VoiceXML

VoiceXML, or VoxML is an XML markup language for voice. Voice eXtensible Markup Language (VoiceXML), is a new standard proposed by IBM, Lucent, Motorola, and AT&T that will make Internet content and information accessible via voice and standard telephones.

This will not only make the Web more accessible to people with visual disabilities, but will make access to information much easier for everyone.

The VoiceXML Forum is an industry organization founded by AT&T, IBM, Lucent and Motorola to establish and promote the Voice eXtensible Markup Language (VoiceXML). The goal of VoiceXML is to make Internet content and information accessible via voice and phone.

WML started as HDML (Handheld Device Markup Language) at Unwired Planet. When the Wireless Application Protocol Forum was formed, it graduated to WML, which is a fully XML compliant language:
