NEW! Text-to-Speech
This new feature is easy to set up and offers professional-sounding menus, voicemails, and messages powered by Amazon Polly, Google, and IBM Watson. Text-to-Speech allows you to type messages into the manager portal to be read in the language and accent you select.
Text-to-Speech makes your day more efficient and more productive in the following ways:
- Eliminate the need for new users to call in and record their name and voicemail greeting
- Create auto attendant intro greetings
- Change menu prompts by typing the change in the message field instead of recording a new greeting
- Type messages into the message option in the menu prompt
- Create messages for queue agents to hear when answering a call from a queue
- Create music on-hold introductory greetings messages
- Change all messages with one consistent, professional-sounding voice

NEW! Speech-to-Text
Enjoy Speech-to-text for dynamic voice-driven IVRs and interactive menus powered by Google! Here are a few of the ways that this new feature will revolutionize your workflow:
- Callers can route their calls by their words rather than the dial pad on their phone
- When a caller reaches a company directory, they can say the person’s name or the department they are searching for instead of typing the first three letters of the party’s first or last name into their dial pad
- When callers are in an auto attendant, they can say keywords to route their calls to the destination they are attempting to reach
- Administrators can configure and modify this feature by simply using the dial pad menu and inputting speech keywords to route calls
With Speech-to-Text, callers can enjoy a more efficient, hands-free calling experience.
