Interactive Voice Response IVR

In computer telephony, Interactive Voice Response is a horizontal application wherein computer-based information is accessed over the phone - with a telephone versus a computer. An IVR platform uses computer telephony components to translate callers' touch-tones or voice commands into computer queries after the callers hear an audio menu. For example: "Please enter your account number using the touch-tones on your telephone." These queries are then "fetched" by the IVR platform from the host computer. In some cases, the information resides in the same platform (self-hosted). The information is then converted into voice commands and then spoken over the phone to the caller. These spoken prompts can be pre-recorded, digitized speech messages that are then concatenated to form whole sentences. For example: "Your bank balance is five hundred and sixty-three dollars". The responses to the caller an also take the form of text-to-speech prompts. IVR systems can also be used for callers to change the information in a database instead of just "listen" to the information.
