About

Compare Telnyx to the competition

Telnyx and Twilio both offer XML-based markup languages for dynamic, low-code programmable voice. These XML files are made up of instructions that tell the program what to do when a call comes in. It’s an easy way to start building call tracking, contact centers, cloud IVR, and more. Businesses are migrating from Twilio to Telnyx for cost savings and great customer support.

HD Voice 16k Hz codecs

Telnyx HD Voice offers wideband codecs like G.722 to the PSTN that support 16k Hz. No middleware is needed: our wideband codecs already support the audio quality needed for seamless media streaming needed for AI.

Twillio Logo

Standard Voice 8k Hz codecs

Twilio’s standard voice codecs don’t support the media streaming features needed for low-latency AI. Users must install middleware to upcycle the bitrate for media to be processed, resulting in poor quality and increased latency.

FAQ

TeXML is an XML-based data structure you can use to control calls with Telnyx. TeXML is the quickest way to get started with Programmable Voice using a simple .xml file, allowing you to specify call instructions in your file using commands called verbs and nouns. TeXML Translator starts at the top of your TeXML file and executes your TeXML commands sequentially in the order they are arranged in the file. Read our article "What is TeXML?" to learn more!
