VoiceXML is used to create IVR applications in PBX solutions and other applications.
From the W3C Candidate Recommendation document:
VoiceXML is designed for creating audio dialogs that feature synthesized speech, digitized audio, recognition of spoken and DTMF key input, recording of spoken input, telephony, and mixed initiative conversations. Its major goal is to bring the advantages of web-based development and content delivery to interactive voice response applications.
