Fantastic! As well as being a comprehensive tutorial, it also shows the possibilities of Voice that I hadn't realised before.

Good work, robodesign!

Thanks very much johnnysaucepn. I'm glad you like it.

I am pleased to see some activity on this XHTML+Voice technology.
I have made a page with various examples, experimenting with dynamic X+V client side and server side, and in interaction with e.g. RSS and SVG:

All the best

Thanks. This is precisely why I wrote the tutorial. There are only a few tutorials about X+V.

I'm also glad to see someone experimenting with X+V.

I have browsed your site and I saw your example of dynamic grammar. You've also reached a limit discussed in this tutorial: one cannot use client-side scripting (JavaScript) to manipulate the grammrs, nor the VoiceXML forms. Thus, we are constrained to abandon such ideas or work around the limitation with server-side scripts. What you did is about the same to what I did in my dynamically generated grammar for the navigation menus.

As for "dynamic X+V client-side": the sky is the limit. Once the user says a recognized utterance, you can have any JavaScript function executed, from which there's simply no limit to what you can do. Your example of feed reader could have been done completely client-side, by using XmlHttpRequest and a lot more JavaScript.

Thanks, you too .

this article was very informative and helped me get started using xhtml+voice. i have shyed away from using javascipt however.

i have wanted to extend accessibility with voice. so i have developed a web site building application that builds and manages an xhtml+voice and xhtml mp site. the application is running my site at http://voice.codebyjoe.com/

I am a slow and stubborn learner. Out of neccessity, I finally broke down and began using ecmascript with voice-xml. I have taken certain algorithms out of the voice-xml and put them in the ecmascript where they belong. This resulted in
1) simple voice-xml form fields,
2) simple ecmascript objects,
3) windows does not shut down the opera browser when dealing with large amounts of data.
4) simple php classes for building the voice-xml and javascript.

You will see this in the source code of my voice project at http://voice.codebyjoe.com/
