Voxeo snuck in a pre-Christmas press release on December 21, announcing the general availability of Designer Version 8.

Once considered the penultimate technology for search engines, Google’s Head of Research believes that natural language doesn’t deliver much benefit for end users. With speech engine providers and application development companies putting so much emphasis on natural language and “How May I Help You” applications, it is time to take a cue from the mighty search engine provider and re-evaluate the industry’s priorities.
Capping off this year’s major investments in the voice application/voice tooling space, investors have pumped an additional $20 million into TuVox.
