voiceTEXT voiceTEXT is a method for instantly sending messages using voice over a phone line. The process begins with the sender connecting to the server using a phone (cellular or land or internet, e.g. voice over IP). After the sender connects s/he composes a message using her/his voice. The message is stored on the server. The voiceTEXT system then places a call to the designated recipient. When the recipient answers the call, the voiceTEXT system plays the recorded message. The recipient can reply to the voiceTEXT message with a new voiceTEXT message using her/his voice, meaning the recipient becomes a sender. The voiceTEXT system was implemented using VoiceXML (Voice eXtensible Markup Language) and CCXML (Call Control XML).
