X+V 1.2 Released by the VoiceXML Forum
The VoiceXML Forum just announced the release of the X+V 1.2 specification for developing multi-modal applications with VoiceXML.
X+V is the VoiceXML Forum’s proposal for supporting multi-modal applications by embedding the VoiceXML 2.0 language inside XHTML allowing web developers to take advantage of the existing web standards.
The W3C’s multi-modal working group is looking at X+V as the basis for their upcoming standards for multi-modal applications. Additionally Microsoft and the SALT Forum have proposed Speech Application Language Tags (SALT) and an alternative.
