IVR (Interactive Voice Response)
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is a software application that
accepts a combination of voice telephone input and touch-tone keypad
selection and provides appropriate responses in the form of voice, fax,
callback, e-mail and perhaps other media. IVR is usually part of a
larger application that includes database access. Common IVR
applications include:
Bank and stock account balances and transfers
Surveys and polls
Call center forwarding
Simple order entry transactions
Selective information lookup (movie schedules, etc.)
An IVR application provides pre-recorded voice responses for
appropriate situations, keypad signal logic, access to relevant data,
and potentially the ability to record voice input for later handling.
Using computer telephony integration (CTI), IVR applications can hand
off a call to a human being who can view data related to the caller at a
display.
