Today Vocalocity announced App Center 2.0, a GUI-based tool to simplify
and accelerate the development of voice applications. Designed
specifically for solution providers who must meet diverse customer
requirements, App Center applications can be migrated effortlessly between
VoiceXML and SALT. App Center’s publish capability eliminates vendor
lock-in and provides developers with complete access to application code
that can be modified directly and executed on the Vocalocity Voice Gateway
or other VoiceXML or SALT platforms such as the Microsoft Speech Server.
App Center’s intuitive drag-and-drop design synthesizes many steps into a
few expertly guided directions, enabling both technical and non-technical
developers to build customized voice applications. Applications created
using App Center are easy to use, simple to change, and enable access to
any data source. App Center simplifies the creation and execution of all
voice applications and shortens the development process from months to
minutes.
Key features and benefits:
- create applications from templates, or create from scratch with
wizards and a simple drag-and-drop interface
- requires no training or expertise in speech
- supports both SALT and VoiceXML speech standards with no effort to
switch between them
- interfaces with any web services, database, email server and other
back-end services
- provides J2EE stability and reliability to accommodate the smallest
business to largest enterprise
- runs on any Java-enabled operating system
- interfaces with Vocalocity’s monitoring, analysis and tuning
products, Info Center and Control Center
- interfaces with Vocalocity or other VoiceXML/SALT compliant gateways
“Decoupling dialog development tools from runtime environments provides
voice application developers the flexibility they expect from the
Internet,” said Dan Miller, Senior Analyst at Zelos Group. “We expect more
use of open tools like Vocalocity App Center that generate scripts of any
flavor that execute on servers anywhere in the network.”
“By using Vocalocity’s App Center, we were able to develop our voice
application much faster than we could have using any other tool,” said
Mark Vedel, Chief Information Officer of ESP Networks. “Rapid development
time combined with the App Center’s per-server licensing allows us to
scale our mass-market iTalk device very economically.”
