Five years ago in 2006, the first public 1.4 beta of VXI* VoiceXML Browser launched, and in our blog post today we celebrate with “Five Years of VXI*”. There are more than 200 customers worldwide with production’s services, 3000 registred users, developers, students… VXI* can be deployed to replace traditional IVR platforms from small businesses to large corporations’ projects requirements. Over these years, VXI* has matured with Asterisk’s evolution and adding hundred of amazing features to an IVR like Video, Flash, Dialers and a large selection of TTS/ASR free or commercial engines.
