: In this paper we present an approach to embedding VoiceXML applications by an off-line compilation scheme. Our primary motivation is that VoiceXML is an established standard for voice applications. However, the complexity and resource requirements of VoiceXML interpretation have so far limited its spread to other application areas than telephony-based services. In many contexts being able to embed voice applications into a larger framework is more important than the dynamic creation of VoiceXML documents that makes the processing particularly resource demanding. In these contexts, we propose off-line VoiceXML compilation into ECMAScript as a solution for reducing the resource demands.
