Dialog Designer is an Eclipse-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) designed for development of web-based applications that generate VoiceXML 2.0/2.1 and CCXML 1.0 markup certified to run on both Voice Portal 3.0.1/4.0 and Interactive Response 1.3/2.0/3.0. As a key element of the customer's IT application environment, applications built using the Dialog Designer environment are deployed onto customer-provided application servers.
Dialog Designer includes an embedded VoiceXML 2.0/2.1 certified browser for fast simulation of applications; this same browser is a shared component across Voice Portal, Interactive Response, and Dialog Designer, further reducing the risks and costs associated with deployment of distributed self-service applications.
