Editing VoiceXML (section)

==History==
[[AT&T Corporation]], [[IBM]], [[Lucent Technologies|Lucent]], and [[Motorola]] formed the VoiceXML Forum in March 1999, in order to develop a standard markup language for specifying voice dialogs.  By September 1999 the Forum released VoiceXML 0.9 for member comment, and in March 2000 they published VoiceXML 1.0. Soon afterwards, the Forum turned over the control of the standard to the W3C.<ref name="Forum2003">{{cite web|url=http://www.voicexml.org/voicexml-tutorials/introduction |title=Introduction – VoiceXML |website=Voicexml.org |access-date=2017-02-23}}</ref> The W3C produced several intermediate versions of VoiceXML 2.0, which reached the final "Recommendation" stage in March 2004.<ref name="W3C2004">{{cite web|last=Schwartz |first=Ephraim |url=http://www.infoworld.com/article/2665414/application-development/w3c-recommends-voicexml-2-0.html |title=W3C recommends VoiceXML 2.0 |publisher=InfoWorld |date=2004-03-17 |access-date=2017-02-23}}</ref>

VoiceXML 2.1 added a relatively small set of additional features to VoiceXML 2.0, based on feedback from implementations of the 2.0 standard. It is backward compatible with VoiceXML 2.0 and reached W3C Recommendation status in June 2007.<ref name="VXML21">{{cite web|url=http://www.w3.org/TR/voicexml21 |title=Voice Extensible Markup Language (VoiceXML) 2.1 |website=W3.org |access-date=2017-02-23}}</ref>
