The Universal Edition Solution
To address the challenges, Universal Edition provides a complete solution for rapidly
conceiving, creating and deploying dynamic VoiceXML 2.0 compliant applications. In order to
understand how to use Universal Edition to build dynamic voice applications, one must
understand the components of the system and how they work. This section presents a high-level
overview of all the components of Universal Edition software.
Universal Edition consists of three main components, Call Studio, Call Services and Elements.
Each of these components is discussed in further detail in the remainder of this section.

Call Studio
Call Studio is a development platform for the creation of voice applications. Call Studio provides
a framework on which a whole host of Universal Edition and third-party tools will appear with a
robust, consistent interface for voice application designers and developers to use. Call Studio
will provide a true control panel for developing all aspects of a voice application, each function
implemented as a plug-in to the greater Call Studio platform.

The most important plug-in for Call Studio is Builder for Call Studio (or the Builder for short),
the component that provides a drag-and-drop graphical user interface (GUI) for the rapid
creation of advanced voice applications. Builder for Call Studio provides:

Intuitive interface
– Using a process similar to flowcharting software, the application
developer can use Builder for Call Studio to create an application, define its call flow, and
configure it to the exact specifications required.

•
Design and build at the same time
– Builder for Call Studio acts as a design tool as well as a
building tool, allowing the developer to rapidly try different application call flows and then
test them out immediately.
test them out immediately.
•
No technical details required
– Builder for Call Studio requires little to no technical
knowledge of Java, VoiceXML, or other markup languages. For the first time, the bulk of a
voice application can be designed and built by voice application design specialists, not
technical specialists.

Rapid application development
– By using Builder for Call Studio, developers can
dramatically shorten deployment times. Application development time is reduced by as much
as 90% over the generation and management of flat VoiceXML files.
