Voice Web Solutions encompasses a wide range of speech-enabled applications in its history. Here is a brief history of our speech professional's experiences in pioneering the Voice Web:

May 2005
Deployed the long awaited update to Voice Web Studio by releasing Voice Web Studio 2.0, the first SALT tool to import and export SRGS Speech Gramamrs directly from Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004. Voice Web Studio can rapidly build multimodal SALT speech dialogs that work with regular HTML or even FLASH! To date, Voice Web Studio has been downloaded by over 35,000 developers.

February 2005
Deployed the speech industry's first desktop grammar editor for Microsoft Windows, Unix, Linux, Macintosh and all other platforms which support Java. Grammar Studio has been in development for over a year and we're proud to finally launch the most anticipated grammar development tool ever created for the Voice Web Industry. Grammar Studio is the only program on the market that addresses all the need of creating W3C speech grammars.

March 2005
Deployed the speech industry's first end-to-end solution with Kirusa, Inc. for using our Voice Web Studio™ SALT developer tool for rapidly developing and deploying multimodal speech applications on the following wireless devices: Microsoft’s SmartPhone™, Symbian™ (e.g. Nokia’s Series 60 and Symbian OS Version 7 as used by Sony/Ericsson,) Qualcomm’s BREW™, and Microsoft’s PocketPC. Voice Web Community membership surpasses 500 members and over 300 companies!

January 2005
Deployed the industry's first graphical round-trip SALT development tool that supports any programming language through Macromedia Dreamweaver MX. Voice Web Studio 1.0 delivers speech enabled accessibility and multimodal applications in one simple to use package.

September 2002
Launched the industry's first round-trip VoiceXML graphical tool that enables any developer to view and edit standard VoiceXML code plus use print and build through an intuitive call flow. VoiceXML Studio 1.0 is available through customer trials.

April 2002
Launched the first email solution in the world for listening to and navigating email messages and attachments using VANGUARD for Email.

February 2002
Launched the first graphical user interface built in Java that included a visual dialog builder based on our call flow design view. The GUI is being made available to VoiceASPs who wish to add VoiceXML content creation tools to their VoiceXML Gateway platform.

January 2002
Launched the first voice activated product for full text navigation of text based information. Set the standards for interactively listening to content for the visually impaired and the sighted.

December 2001
Launched the first open community for the discussion of the Voice Web as a whole. Established ourselves as a research & development company dedicated to the Voice Web industry.

September 2001
Demonstrated the first content source independent textual document playback reader built in VoiceXML designed for blind users. The application enabled anyone to navigate any textual information whether its a book, document, memo, computer screenshot, OCR, or XML, in an easy-to-use voice only interface. Demonstrated multi-modal applications that use VoiceXML in which documents (such as a flowchart) are navigated by voice and sight.

August 2001
Designed and deployed an award worthy graphical user interface (GUI) for building a VoiceXML application. The GUI lets developers build voice applications to run on top of the Voice Application Server (VAS) and use Voice "Web services" to deploy & connect to applications just by name.

June 2001
Deployed new tools for building voice applications with the VAS. Deployed a tool for automatically building a voice portal in five minutes or less. It enables developers to quickly build & deploy multiple expert sounding voice portals bundled with keywords, global voice commands, voice portal audio themes, keyword confirmation & more! Deployed a tool for automatically managing voice application audio file inventories for work with voice talents as well as live tracking of unrecorded and recorded audio files as the application is running.

May 2001
Launched the VAS as a beta product with support for three major voice browsers. Deployed an XML based system for packaging, discovering, accessing, and binding voice applications together to perform tasks very similar to the "Web services" building blocks concept with just standard VoiceXML.

March 2001
Built the industry's first pure Java based voice application server (VAS), a platform for deploying voice applications on multiple voice browsers. The VAS enabled any developer to write a voice application once using powerful JSP Tag Libraries and configure that application within a custom voice portal and deploy it on all the major voice browsers in a matter of hours.

February 2001
Developed a VoiceXML application that enables micropayment companies to collect payment for purchases on pre-ordering coffee drinks before callers reach the store. Deployed on the Locus Dialog Speech Browser. Completely identified the anatomy of a voice portal.

December 2000
Expanded the voice portal development environment into a tools & platform for deploying 56 independent voice portal applications on multiple browsers.

October 2000
Built the industry's first multi-platform VoiceXML development environment using ASP & PHP to run our first VoiceXML voice portal supporting over 20 keywords from news, choose your own adventure, business locator, directions, voice ads, voice greetings, list navigation, and more...

June 2000
Built the first publicly accessible 100% live VoiceXML application (a survey about online habits) for members of the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) using the Locus Dialog Speech Browser.

February 2000
Created & Deployed our first Voice Portal using VoxML with seven applications and a keyword based navigation system.

August 1999
Built the industry's first voice only business locator application using VoxML.

March 1999
Joined the VoiceXML forum, being one of the early 17 members.

February 1999
After joining the Motorola VoxML forum, being one of the first 3rd party members, our team built the first point-to-point speech only driving directions application in Voice Web history (written and deployed using VoxML). We also assisted Motorola's members in designing and building VoxML applications.

June 1998
Deployed the first voice activated MP3 player powered by IBM ViaVoice. Through proprietary software created by our team, users navigate to any song in their music archive and play it by voice recognition via a microphone.
