Voicent Gateway is a VoiceXML gateway for developing open-standard based interactive telephony applications. VoiceXML is a W3C standard. According to VoiceXML Forum,

"Voice Extensible Markup Language (VoiceXML) is a markup language for creating voice user interfaces that use automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech synthesis (TTS). AT&T, IBM, Lucent and Motorola founded the VoiceXML Forum, a global industry organization, in March, 1999 to promote and to accelerate the adoption of VoiceXML-based applications worldwide. More than 10,000 commercial VoiceXML-based speech applications have been deployed across a diverse set of industries, including financial services, government, insurance, retail, telecommunications, transportation, travel and hospitality."


Voicent Gateway can be deployed on any PC with a voice modem, making it possible to develop and deploy Voicent based solutions at a cost most small business and organizations can afford. The gateway also supports multiple phone lines by using multiple modems on a single computer. For large scale applications, multiple gateways in different locations can be networked together through the web interface.

Voicent Gateway contains an outbound call scheduler which can be accessed through its HTTP interface. This interface enables easy integration with almost any application and with almost any programming language. For an example commercial product that is using Voicent Gateway, please see Autodialer from Voicent, Predictive Dialer from Voicent, and Appointment reminder from Voicent.
