Let me give you a quick introduction to Spoken. Spoken provides speech recognition solutions for call centers so that they can work at peak efficiency and provide even better customer service. We offer a fully virtual call center solution that we host, and our primary offering is unique: the Guided Speech IVR, which we ’ve dubbed a CVR, for Conversational Voice Response--more about that in a bit. The basic idea is a hybrid model: automation with a human safety net for peak accuracy. And we accomplish that with Spoken’s patented human Silent Guides, human beings that monitor in the background and jump on to the call in real time to make corrections to speech rec, but never speak to the caller. And because of that patented technology, we can guarantee ROI if your operation is at least a $20 MM proposition.
Let ’s take a look at what it’s like to be a Spoken human Silent Guide. We’ve got a call coming in, and the first questions are green, so we just sit and wait. But the zip code flags red, so we know to listen to that utterance and type in the correction. Meanwhile, of course, the caller is still live on the line, conversing with the CVR, unaware that we are making corrections in the background.
As the conversation continues with the CVR, we see that “Bill Smith” flags yellow. That means that the ASR (speech recognition engine) was only moderately confident it’s correct. So we, the Silent Guide, listen in and verify that yes, “Bill Smith” is correct.
