VoiceObjects Introduces Development Tools
VoiceObjects yesterday announced the general availability of its VoiceObjects Desktop for Eclipse and VoiceObjects Developer Edition. Using these new solutions, developers can create over-the-phone, multichannel applications with personalization features to customize the experience for each user.
VoiceObjects Desktop for Eclipse and VoiceObjects Developer Edition deliver solutions that enable organizations to obtain one-to-one personalization. Built using open standards VoiceXML, Desktop for Eclipse provides a graphical-use interface for the design, development, deployment, testing, and administration of voice, video, text, and Web-based applications. It supports two operational modes: a network mode that allows for team collaboration, and a stand-alone mode that allows developers and consultants to perform offline development and testing.
Also included in VoiceObjects Desktop for Eclipse is Storyboard Manager, a software component that eases new design and legacy migration from proprietary IVR systems to the VoiceXML-based platforms and the VoiceObjects Server. This new feature reduces the time for routine application development tasks by more than 50 percent.
VoiceObjects Developer Edition is a downloadable application to develop over-the-phone voice, video, text or Web-based applications. The new solution incorporates a runtime version of VoiceObjects Server, including the entire library of more than 100 media platform drivers to support a variety of IVR and USSD platforms.
"With the introduction of the VoiceObjects Desktop for Eclipse and VoiceObjects Developer Edition, we’re providing an easier way to design self-service phone portals that customize every user experience to achieve a deep level of one-to-one personalization, allowing organizations to better serve customers by accessing content relevant to their needs," Michael Codini, chief technical officer of VoiceObjects, said in a statement.
