The Avaya Voice Browser component

Last Updated : Jun 05, 2026 |

The Avaya Voice Browser is a Voice eXtensible Markup Language (VoiceXML) interpreter that communicates with the application servers to interpret the VoiceXML documents of a speech application.

For each incoming call:

  1. Session Manager starts a new Avaya Voice Browser session and passes the Universal Resource Indicator (URI) of the VoiceXML application to the new session.

  2. The Avaya Voice Browser contacts the application server and waits for the VoiceXML page to be returned.

  3. After the application starts, the Avaya Voice Browser is responsible for:

    • Interpreting the VoiceXML page returned by the application server.

    • Managing the user interaction including playing prompts and interpreting input from the caller through Dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) or Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR).
