Over the past five years, Xtone has developed Xavi, the only commercially-available platform that enables mobile developers to quickly enhance their apps with voice assistants that interact with users in a unique, engaging way. The Xavi Platform offers a comprehensive development environment coupled with a cloud-based managed service for deployment. The Xavi development environment includes a plug-in that integrates with your existing mobile app, a voice interface markup language (VIML) to define conversational dialogs, and cloud-based services that provide high-level access to industry-leading speech recognition, text-to-speech, voice authentication and other key technologies. The Xavi platform currently supports iPhone and Android devices with a write-once/run-anywhere architecture that will dramatically reduce your development and maintenance effort compared to developing conversational apps from scratch. Once developed, your new conversational UIs can be deployed on Xavi’s cloud-based, managed service that hosts the voice assistant and provides access to all the necessary speech-related technologies, eliminating the need for any additional, on-premise software or hardware. If you prefer, Xavi can also be configured to operate as an on-premise solution using speech technologies that are also licensed, installed and operated on your servers. Xavi also provides comprehensive OA&M tools that help you monitor usage and ensure reliable, responsive operation.
