Hi,

Speechworks support will probably have better answers: the conatcts are at:

http://www.speechworks.com/company/contact/contacts.cfm

In the meantime, see my comments below:

 Hello, Our company are looking for a solution about the Voice Portal platform.
It must provides the VoiceXML Interpreter. And it must be an open architecture,which allowing different resource verders to provide their services. The OpenVXI seems be a perfect solution for us. We had already gotten the opensource code of OpenVXI from CMU. But the OpenVXI is not a complete voice browser,it is just a library of VoiceXML interpreter. SpeechWorks seems had integratedthe OpenVXI library with SpeechWorks 6  and Speechify to implement avoice browser.  But we can 't find any information about the voice browser from theWeb pages of SpeechWorks. Could you give us answers about following questions ?

1. Does SpeechWorks develop an OpenVXI-based voice browser ? Is it ready for release ?    Where can we get more informations about it ?

They implement the OpenVXI APIs for their own speech recognition and text-to-speech solutions :
if you want that you will need to pay for the license (fair enough, they need to make money somewhere).
 

2. Is there any other company has developed an OpenVXI-based voice browser ? How is it going?

We are implementing an open-source solution with a Sip interface (www.vovida.org) for the
telephony API and RTSP for the prompt interface (no TTS).  For recognition we will only handle DTMF as ASR  is the hardest part.
I saw some postings on this list from people using the code but no company advertising what you're asking for- I'm sure there are some arounnd though.

3. Is there any telephony venders and other speech venders which can provide    their services to the OpenVXI-based voice browser?  Can you give us some candidates?

Same as previous.

4. Is the chinese language supported ? Please give me response asap. Regards. Miao-Ru Hsu

That depends on the ASR application.
