Amtelco's "Just Say It" provides text-to-speech and automatic speech recognition capabilities.  It enables call centers to automate call processing, reduce labor costs, increase accuracy, and offer more services without increasing staff.  The Just Say It speech recognition module uses Nuance's voice recognition technology, which allows IVR scripts to listen for words or phrases spoken by a caller in multiple languages.

Just Say It simplifies voice call processing by allowing callers to speak an option instead of entering DTMF tones.  In addition to listening for commands, Just Say It can gather information from the caller and store it in an OLE compliant database.  This can range from simple yes/no commands to speaking a person's name, ID, or credit card number.  Just Say It provides the tools to build dictionaries of words or phrases needed for each application to make script design and call processing more efficient.
