IVR (Interactive Voice Response)
An automated phone system that routes callers using voice or keypad input.
Definition
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is an automated telephony system that interacts with callers through pre-recorded voice menus and keypad or voice input. It routes calls to the appropriate department or provides self-service options without human intervention.
In Depth
Modern IVR systems support multi-level menus, speech recognition, text-to-speech, callback queuing, and API integrations. Key metrics include containment rate (percentage of calls resolved without an agent), average handle time, and abandonment rate.
Lodgestory supports multi-level IVR with drag-and-drop menu builder, integrated with Tata Tele, Ozonetel, and Airtel telephony providers.
