Nortel pitches speech recognition tool for call centers

19.06.2006

Seven percent of contact center managers surveyed said their companies will purchase a speech application in 2006.

Alice Price, Nortel's product and solutions marketing manager for Asia Pacific, said that with speech recognition technology, contact centers can reduce operational costs by immediately tracking what customers need.

Through speech recognition, callers, for example, can simply speak their orders on the phone, follow prompts and receive automated updates.
