What is IVR?
In telephony, Interactive Voice Response, or IVR, is a phone
technology that allows a computer to detect voice and touch
tones using a normal phone call. The IVR system can respond with
pre-recorded or dynamically generated audio to further direct
callers on how to proceed. IVR systems can be used to control
almost any function where the interface can be broken down into a
series of simple menu choices. Once constructed IVR systems
scale well to handle large call volumes.

What is VoiceXML?
VoiceXML is a language for creating voice-user interfaces, particularly
for the telephone. It uses speech recognition (ASR) and touchtone
(DTMF keypad) for input, and pre-recorded audio and text-to-speech
synthesis (TTS) for output. It is based on the Worldwide Web
Consortium’s (W3C’s) Extensible Markup Language (XML), and
leverages the web paradigm for application development and
deployment. By having a common language, application developers,
platform vendors, and tool providers all can beneﬁt from code
portability and reuse.
