In order to ease the development of devices with visual and voice interfaces for PDAs and other handheld devices, the Multimodal Toolkit and Rational Application Developer can be used. By using these products one can minimize the skills and time needed for creating complicated programs that use XHTML+V(XHTML + VOICE) on compatible devices.
XHTML+V is a new technology, that combine XHTML and voice interfaces on small devices, like PDAs and tablets. It is accomplished by combining different web standards, such as ECMAScript, JavaScript,
The Multimodal Toolkit adds extensions to Rational Application Developer to provide multimodal functionality, allowing the development of applications with both visual and voice user interfaces. The Toolkit provides an integrated development environment that can minimize both the skills and time needed to develop applications for XHTML+Voice aware PDAs and other handheld wireless devices.
XHTML+Voice (X+V) is a Web markup language for developing multimodal applications for wireless devices. X+V uses both voice and visual elements of user interaction.
In this tutorial, you will create an XHTML+Voice example portlet project.
1. From Rational Application Developer, select Help > Samples Gallery.
2. Click on Technology Samples > Portlet > X+V Portlet > X+V Portlet Sample.
3. In the right pane, click Import Sample.
4. On the X+V Portlet Sample page, use the default location or type a new location where you want the porlet to be installed. Click Finish.
The new samples now reside in your workspace.
