Microsoft will begin beta testing Speech Server 2007, the latest version of its interactive voice response platform for call centers, in May and plans final release before the end of the year.
At the top of the list of additions, Speech Server 2007 will finally add native support for Voice Extensible Markup Language. It also will provide enhanced support for Speech Application Language Tags, according to a Microsoft statement.
"With the newly included VoiceXML support, customers will be able to write World Wide Web Consortiums VoiceXML 2.1-compliant applications within Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and deploy those applications, or existing VoiceXML 2.1-compliant applications, on Speech Server 2007," the statement said. The company also announced it has joined the VoiceXML Forum at the Promoter level.
