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

Sunny Sun: A journey of growth and collaboration at ComputerTalk

by Sunny Sun | Published On May 29, 2024

My journey with Computer Talk began in September 2017. I can’t believe it’s been almost 7 years! I was referred to by a friend who has been working here since they spent a co-op term here as a student. And this is my first job after university. I've felt lucky from the moment I joined. Every day I've been welcomed with friendly faces and supported in ways I never imagined.

Working as an Application Developer:

Unlike traditional software developers, this role collaborates with multiple functions: Quality Assurance, Project Owners, Customer Support, clients, Sales, and more. To me, this is the best part of this position. I don't feel like it's just me and my computer.

At ComputerTalk, we provide custom ice Contact Center solutions based on customer needs. We integrate with CRM platforms, banking systems for automated IVR applications, and customer-owned software for screen pops to optimize agent handling. There are so many interesting projects to talk about! One of the projects we worked on was integrating Java with Lagan for one of our customers. I love having the opportunity to work with customers in different industries and understanding their specialties.

Looking forward to my future at ComputerTalk

The supportive environment here at ComputerTalk has allowed me to thrive and unleash my full potential. Whether it’s through mentorship, training programs, or opportunities for learning and development, I feel confident to take on new challenges and push beyond my comfort zone. I have really enjoyed working with so many talented and friendly coworkers. We always say it’s like a big family. And YES IT IS! I look forward to expanding my role at ComputerTalk and continuing to share wonderful experiences with new faces.

I joined ComputerTalk during peak-pandemic times- when banana bread was a national pastime and Zoom backgrounds were judged harder than actual office decor. My job? Marketing! Specifically, lots of copywriting. Thought leadership blogs. Punchy taglines. And optimizing content so it...

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.
