Automated Speech Recognition

Take your IVR to the next level with Automated Speech Recognition (ASR). ASR lets you remove the constraints of a standard touch-tone IVR application to enhance the customer experience. Customers are able to speak their needs using natural language. ComputerTalk also offers voice biometrics to authenticate users through their voice.

IVR and Contact Center Continuity

IVR applications are not always able to answer all inquiries. Sometimes customers have complex or non-routine issues and need to be transferred to a contact center agent. ComputerTalk's IVR and ice Contact Center are both built using the iceWorkflow Designer tool to provide a seamless and continuous flow of information between IVR and contact center.

Outbound IVR

Don’t wait for your customers to call you. Proactively reach out to them using outbound IVR applications. Deliver automated outbound communication that simply plays a message and disconnects or plays IVR prompts where prospects can interact with menus

25 Years of Service: My Journey at ComputerTalk

by Isaac Chan | Published On March 26, 2024

I have been working at ComputerTalk for a quarter of a century! I can't count on one hand the events in my life that surpass this milestone.

From Application Developer to Function Owner

It was (you guessed it) 25 years ago when I first joined ComputerTalk as an application developer. I was part of a small but talented team that created innovative and customized contact center solutions for our clients. Fast forward 25 years, and a lot has changed. The head count has grown by 2.5 times, we have implemented more formal processes, but we have not lost our agility and adaptability in the fast-changing world of technology.

As a function owner, I lead a dynamic and high-performance technology team that provides custom ice Contact Center solutions. I enjoy collaborating with other teams and understanding the needs and expectations of our customers. I always strive to deliver the best solutions that meet their requirements and exceed their expectations.

To be continued…

Working at ComputerTalk for 25 years has been a rewarding and fulfilling experience. I have witnessed the company’s evolution and growth, and have been lucky to be part of that journey. I have enjoyed leading and working with such talented and passionate individuals and creating solutions that make a difference in the world. I appreciate the support and recognition I have received from ComputerTalk, and I look forward to many more years of innovation and excellence here.

Auto Attendant

ComputerTalk’s auto attendant capabilities can be a standalone application or part of the whole contact center system. Callers no longer need to remember extension numbers; they just need to speak the name of the person or department they wish to contact.

Advantage

When your IVR applications are built on the same technology as your contact center, you avoid additional support and integration costs. You are able to view comprehensive reports relevant to your IVR and contact center to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions. ComputerTalk's IVR is easy to update to accommodate your changing business needs.
