Multimodal applications leverage the strengths of both voice and graphics to create compelling and usable mobile applications. However,companies interested in creating multimodal applications must choose among a variety of platforms and development tools offered by a number of different vendors, and the choice can be difficult. This presentation discusses the pros and cons of existing multimodal platforms and tools. We will also discuss how voice and multimodal standards can reduce the risk of being locked into proprietary technologies.
