Voice Call
Voice dial is a telephone feature that initiates a call when the user says a contact name or the digits in a phone number. Many cell phones and smart phones ...offer voice dialling.Voice dialling systems use speech recognition software. The simplest systems, known as "speaker-dependent," are based on recordings called voice tags. To create a voice tag, the user says the words that will identify a contact -- "Vipin at the office," for example -- and keys in the associated phone number. To call that number in future, the user simply repeats the words in the voice tag. Speaker-dependent systems can only identify numbers that have voice tags created for them and sometimes fail to do so when someone other than the person who made the original recording says them. Most phones with speaker-dependent systems support a limited number of tags.
IVR
Interactive voice response (IVR) is a technology that allows a computer to interact with humans through the use of voice and DTMF tones input via a keypad. In ...telecommunications, IVR allows customers to interact with a company’s host system via a telephone keypad or by speech recognition, after which services can be inquired about through the IVR dialogue. IVR systems can respond with pre-recorded or dynamically generated audio to further direct users on how to proceed. IVR systems deployed in the network are sized to handle large call volumes and also used for outbound calling, as IVR systems are more intelligent than many predictive dialler systems.
IVR systems can be used for mobile purchases, banking payments, services, retail orders, utilities, travel information and weather conditions. A common misconception refers to an automated attendant as an IVR. The terms are distinct and mean different things to traditional telecommunications professionals—the purpose of an IVR is to take input, process it, and return a result, whereas that of an automated attendant is to route calls. The term voice response unit (VRU) is sometimes used as well.
