Documentation > Choosing A Platform
Hosting Options
Voxeo offers three main application platforms:
CallXML, CCXML, and VoiceXML.
Use the following reference information to
determine which platform options best suit your application requirements:
Prophecy 8.0 -- CallXML 3.0
The CallXML 3.0 platform is available exclusively from Voxeo.
CalXML 3.0 adds powerful enhancements to this widely used, simple-to-learn IVR markup.
Retaining its low cost and short learning curve, 3.0 adds the ability to use simple
voice recognition menus within your applications, and employs built-in conditional
logic operations to further extend its capabilities. Additionally, CallXML 3.0
sports new container element aliases and also features built-in XPath support,
allowing developers to build robust IVR applications using only static content.
CallXML suits the needs of most telephony applications that use touchtone
input (DTMF). If your application won't need complex voice
recognition, CallXML may be the right choice for you.
You can visit our CallXML 3.0 Developer Guide
to use our samples and how-to tutorials and start developing your applications. Prophecy CallXML 3.0
is available for use on either the Voxeo hosted network,
or as a free trial installation
on your local machine, another first in the industry.
Prophecy 8.0 -- CCXML W3C 1.0
Voxeo offers the worlds's first CCXML 1.0-compliant platform.
Having routed over 1 billion calls since its commercial introduction in 2002, it's hands down
the best platform on which to deploy your next-generation conferencing/call
routing applications to ensure that they will stand the test of time.
Prophecy CCXML 1.0 is available for use on either the Voxeo hosted network,
or as a free trial installation
on your local machine. For details, tutorials, and code samples specific to this most recent version
of CCXML 1.0, visit our CCXML 1.0 Developer Guide.
Prophecy 8.0 -- VoiceXML 2.1
The Prophecy Platform
is available as a premise or hosted solution.
It includes the Voxeo ASR engine (available only in US English) and is the world's first
and only 100% certified-compliant
VoiceXML 2.0 browser. Concerned about IVR application portability?
Worry no longer, as the Prophecy Platform allows you to develop
applications that won't need retooling if you migrate to another
compliant platform. The Prophecy Platform supports all the
VoiceXML 2.1 additions and enhancements, as well as the SISR/SRGS grammar
formatting standards. It also includes legacy support for the older GSL and
JSGF grammar formats.
The whole Prophecy package offers you and your callers
an enormous range of flexibility and options in your voice-activated IVR deployments.
Note that while the Voxeo VoiceXML 2.0 Development Guide
will serve as a starting point for your Prophecy VoiceXML development, some differences
do exist between this version of our VoiceXML documentation and our new Prophecy implementation.
However, Prophecy-specific documentation is forthcoming very soon.
Stay tuned for release updates!
Premise Options
The Voxeo Prophecy Platform is available as both a software license and a preloaded Turnkey Server. Prophecy Premise deployments include CallXML, VoiceXML and CCXML browsers.
Prophecy 7.0
Designed to reduce the cost and complexity of voice application delivery,
Prophecy comprises the only VoiceXML browser to pass 100% of the mandatory and
optional compliance tests, the world's first and most-deployed CCXML browser,
US English ASR and TTS, and more. All Prophecy components communicate via SIP,
enabling Prophecy to scale from a laptop running two ports to clusters of thousands of distributed ports.
Prophecy is used at the core of the Voxeo hosted IVR service
and can support over 45,000 IVR ports.
Prophecy 8.0
Prophecy 8 brings more than 20 new features to Prophecy, such as Prophecy Designer,
a Web-based tool for rapid voice application design, and Prophecy BusinessVoIP, a
carrier-grade SIP VoIP connectivity/trunking solution developed specifically
for Prophecy customers. With Prophecy 8, businesses can install a complete IVR
platform, create a basic speech application, provision a phone number, and connect
to the phone network in just fifteen minutes. Prophecy comes with two free ports and
is available immediately at http://www.voxeo.com/prophecy. It is also available as a pre-loaded Turnkey Server.
