OpenMethods gets an honorable mention in this TechWorld’s (Australia) article:
Major voice portal providers include Avaya, Cisco, Convergys’ Intervoice unit, and Nortel. Travelocity built its voice portal application, which runs on a Tomcat application server, with Intervoice InVision Studio tools and uses a Nuance Speechworks media server for speech recognition.
IT can also roll its own voice portals using a combination of industry standards and specialized development tools offered by vendors such as OpenMethods, Syntellect, and Voxeo. Many savvy IT departments simply write their own in Java.
However, it’s somewhat disappointing that upon further reading, OpenMethods’ OpenVXML isn’t mentioned as one of the premier open source Eclipse IDE for voice applications development. Many vendors may offer IDEs based on Eclipse, but the differentiation lies in that OpenVXML is open source.
