IVR support — Support such as automating call handling by autonomous user interaction; processing user commands to facilitate self-service applications; performing “prompt-and collect" functions to obtain user data; extracting and parsing Web content and presenting it to customers through a voice portal; support for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text to-speech (TTS) options; full support for Voice Extensible Markup Language (VXML) Version 1.0 script interpretation; Web integration using HTML trigger pages and full XML parsing; allowing capture of XML data from enterprise Web servers; and support for e-notification services (e-mail, paging, or faxes).
