CCXML Development Guide

Version 1.0-Voxeo

This documentation is for CCXML 1.0-Voxeo, which has been superceded by CCXML 1.0-W3C. The CCXML-Voxeo platform is not being updated any longer. The CCXML 1.0-W3C version, however, has many new features and is actively being enhanced. If you're writing a new CCXML application, you should use CCXML 1.0-W3C. Click here for the CCXML 1.0-W3C documentation.

Introduction

This guide contains all of the information you'll need to develop great voice applications on the Voxeo VoiceCenter network. Inside, you'll find tutorials, sample code, a detailed language specification, and appendices covering everything from best practices to advanced topics.

Users new to CCXML development, and Prophecy platform developers should take note that this documentation is specific to our older CCXML implementation, and is not compliant to the current W3C specification for CCXML applications. Until our Prophecy CCXML documentation project is complete, Prophecy developers are advised to visit the W3C CCXML 1.0 Specification for code samples, and in-depth explanations of the 1.0-compliant markup.
