By David Sims, TMCnet Contributing Editor

Telephony developers, Web developers, both are included in Voxeo’s (News - Alert) Evolution developer portal.

For Telephony developers, company officials say, Voxeo's Evolution developer portal provides “free hosted access to our Prophecy Platform, resources, and technical support for the creation of Interactive Voice Response, VoIP and voice recognition applications, integrated with modern XML and Web development solutions.”

And for you Web developers, it lets you use “your XML and Web skills, platforms, and tools to create voice recognition and touch-tone driven applications that can be called from, or call out to, any telephone or VoIP device.”

The Free Voxeo Evolution developer portal, company officials say, includes “free access to our hosted XML IVR platforms, support for inbound and outbound calls, free direct-dial phone numbers, Skype (News - Alert) access, or open SIP access, IVR prompt playback, audio recording, DTMF entry with VoiceXML or CallXML, VoiceXML voice recognition and text to speech, advanced call routing, conferencing, and control with CCXML, free Extreme Support for developers, over 50 tutorials and sample applications, extensive VoiceXML (News - Alert), CCXML, and CallXML references, local static web hosting for your voice applications and free tools, resources, and special offers from our partners.”

Also included free, as if that’s not enough, are Voxeo's Real-time Debugger, which company officials say “includes our basic real-time logging capability, plus the ability to pause and resume calls, inspect variables, break on error, view XML documents as they were fetched by the voice browser, and more.”

And they’ll toss in Voxeo's File Manager, which “provides FTP-accessible web hosting for XML IVR applications. This lets you host static XML content, audio prompts, and other audio recordings directly at our hosting facilities for unbeatable performance and reliability.”
