The Vocal Scripter on our web site at http://cafe.bevocal.com is one, and there are several others out there. On the other hand, I'm not sure how well VoiceXML forms would map to HTML forms in this regard. VoiceXML forms are typically much more directed, so if you wanted to present a VoiceXML application to the user as a series of Web forms, it would not be a straightforward mapping of one VoiceXML form to one HTML form -- it would have to be a bit more complicated. But it could probably be done. Laura Werner BeVocal
