Comment: Larson's monograph is an excellent introduction to spoken dialogue development and design, using VoiceXML. It provides a succinct survey of what is needed and why, and goes into knowledeable depth on using VoiceXML while still keeping pointers to related technologies, thus broadening the understanding of VoiceXML.
The first 100 pages treat speech applications, their technologies and what is needed to develop them (the first sample VoiceXML document occurs on p 22). Then Chapter 5 is a basic introduction to VoiceXML. The remaining chapters 6-13 (150 pages) go through design aspects such as barge-in, grammars, application directed, user directed, and mixed initiative styles, testing, tools, and reusability, all the time with VoiceXML fragments as illustration.
All chapters end with a rich set of exercises and projecs.
Thus the book is very well suited for the learner, in particular for the application developer (whether focus is on usability design, grammar and language, or programming). But also practitioners and researchers will benefit from the completeness in coverage in this book, and its successful hit on best practice.
It is not a reference on VoiceXML, and researchers might want more references to related literature. But it hits its focus very well.
