VoiceXML rocks

I'm in the middle of writing some articles at the moment on a technology called VoiceXML.
I've only recently become aware of VoiceXML, but I have to admit that I am very impressed by what I've seen so far, not only in terms of the standard itself, but also the tools that fit round it.
In a nutshell, VoiceXML enables you to create voice-based interfaces to applications and systems, with a voice browser converting your VoiceXML definition into speech, a voice recognition (or keypad recognition) system accepts responses and can then make decisions about what to do next, including loading over VoiceXML or providing simple responses.
All in all, it provides a method for the sort of interactivity that many of us will be familiar with when we call banks, mobile phone companies and others and go through those automated systems. I have to admit, I'm not a fan of those services, but being on the other end of the development and deployment process, I'm thoroughly enjoying the flexibility offered by the VoiceXML system.
There are a number of articles on IBM developerWorks that will help you get to grips with the technology. With a service like voxeo and a simple text editor you can achieve some amazing stuff - so get playing!
