You should probably familiarize yourself with the Voice Tools Project
(http://www.eclipse.org/vtp/) - I don't think it really covers the area
that you're talking about, but it might be something that you can
leverage in an implementation of your idea. I'm not sure how active or
dormant that project is, however.
I've copied the VTP forum group on this reply
(http://www.eclipse.org/forums/eclipse.technology.voicetools)
Hope this helps,
Eric

Hi Frank and Eric--
The VTP project is not at all dormat, though the newsgroup doesn't see a
lot of action. I'm not sure how useful the VTP project would be in this
situation, but there might be a few bits of the project that would be
useful, particularly around the VXML construction.
Frank, good luck with your project -- sounds interesting. Let us know
if you think we might be able to help.
