Voice Solutions Mean Business

One of the greatest challenges facing companies today is managing interactions and creating consistent experiences with customers and prospects, employees, vendors and partners. Especially via the telephone. Companies simply can’t afford to hire enough people to manage these interactions. And the existing automation solutions fall short. Until now. Voice automation – using speech recognition – delivers what companies need today. Voice has the ability to provide substantial cost savings and rapid ROI. Customer experiences and satisfaction improve with voice. Voice serves as the foundation for new services that can help drive revenue, build your brand and differentiate your company.

Products

Nuance has complete voice automation solutions – the kind that millions of people interact with every day. Voice-activated dialing, customer care, information lines, email reading and much more. The products that underlie those solutions include:

Platforms

Platforms are the foundation on which voice applications are developed and deployed. They execute the commands and logic specified by the voice application, provide the speech processing capabilities, enable application creation, interface to back-end systems and call center infrastructure and provide system management and administration capabilities. The Nuance Voice Platform™ 3.0 is an open, standards-based platform leveraging your company’s existing IT investment and infrastructure while enabling speech applications that deliver high levels of automation and customer satisfaction.

Engines

Engines power speech solutions. They are the core technologies that enable recognition and understanding of both simple responses and complex conversational requests, the authentication of an individual’s identity and the conversion of written information into speech. Nuance’s market-leading speech recognition software, Nuance 8.5, is the most accurate, scalable and reliable product on the market. Nuance’s voice authentication software, Nuance Verifier™ 3.5, is used by leading companies to safely and securely handle over 150 million calls a year. And Nuance’s text-to-speech offering, Nuance Vocalizer™ 3.0, addresses the need to deliver dynamic information over the phone.
