Welcome to the IVR Global Online Community, sponsored by Voxeo

Evolving standards and speech technologies are driving the business case for companies to deploy automated telephony solutions that create new revenue streams, increase customer satisfaction and trim costs. TMCnet has joined together with industry leader, Voxeo, to help readers find the tools and resources they need to build and deploy standards-based IVR and VoIP applications.

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) / VoiceXML

IVR is a technology that automates interactions with telephone callers. Enterprises are increasingly turning to IVR to reduce the cost of common sales, service, collections, inquiry and support calls to and from their company.

Historically, IVR solutions have used pre-recorded voice prompts and menus to present information and options to callers, and touch-tone telephone keypad entry to gather responses. Modern IVR solutions also enable input and responses to be gathered via spoken words with voice recognition.

IVR solutions enable users to retrieve information including bank balances, flight schedules, product details, order status, movie show times, and more from any telephone. Additionally, IVR solutions are increasingly used to place outbound calls to deliver or gather information for appointments, past due bills, and other time critical events and activities.
