                        <p>A voice browser provides the means for people to use their voice
to interact with appropriately designed applications. Users
generally connect to voice browsers by dialling an access number.
The voice browser in turn retrieves markup (e.g. VoiceXML) and other
resources from an application server. In some situations it is
appropriate to transfer the user from one voice browser to another.
In other situations, the user may start from a visual web page and
then transfer to a voice browser, yet another possibility is
transfer from a voice browser to a human operator.</p>
                        <p>This document describes the requirements for how voice browsers
and other call sites can cooperate by sharing data to create a
seamless caller experience. An example of a potential resulting
benefit to a caller is not having to re-enter the same information
repeatedly at different call sites. A potential benefit for service
providers is a flexible architecture for deploying and
interconnecting disparate call sites.</p>

defining several markup languages for applications supporting

speech applications across a range of hardware and software
platforms. Specifically, the Working Group is designing markup
languages for dialog, speech recognition grammar, speech
synthesis, natural language semantics, and a collection of
reusable dialog components. These markup languages make up the
W3C Speech Interface Framework. The speech community is invited
to review and comment on the working draft requirement and
specification documents.</p>
