Interactive Voice Response



What is it?

 

With Interactive Voice Response (IVR), recorded messages can provide important information to incoming callers. Through the use of extended voice menu trees, callers may then interact with your telephone system to obtain and/or leave information. It can be programmed to accept input directly from any touch-tone telephone and provide immediate feed back 'on-line' to the calling party.
