Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
January 7, 2010Interactive Voice Response (IVR):
The process in which the voice processing system prompts the caller for information which can then be used as a search key to a database. The result of the search is subsequently reported back to the caller. A typical and most common application of IVR is in the banking system. A caller calls the bank’s IVR lines, enters an account number, and receives information such as account balance, last check cleared, etc.
