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

Victor Pawa: How mentorship and teamwork shaped my career at ComputerTalk

by Victor Pawa | Published On September 25, 2024

Ever since I started at ComputerTalk, my time here has been both rewarding and transformative. I've had the opportunity to grow professionally, collaborate with talented individuals, and contribute to meaningful projects that make a real impact.

When I first joined ComputerTalk as a fresh-faced grad with limited project management experience, I was a bit like a fish out of water. But instead of floundering, I found myself swimming with the best of them—thanks to the incredible mentorship and support I received.

At ComputerTalk, what’s truly cool is the way we balance guidance with independence. I was paired with seasoned project managers who shared their wisdom and, at the same time, gave me the space to dive into projects and learn by doing. It’s like having a personal coach who not only cheers you on but also gives you the freedom to run your own plays.

Seven years later...

Why have I stayed for over seven years? It’s simple. The people here aren’t just colleagues—they’re family. Whether it's brainstorming solutions or sharing a laugh over coffee (or both), the relationships I’ve built at ComputerTalk are what make coming to work every day a joy. Plus, the flexibility of hybrid work means I get the best of both worlds: a great team and a comfortable home office.

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.
