Interactive voice response (IVR) - Vector stencils library

The vector stencils library "Interactive voice response (IVR)" contains 32 symbols of devices and equipment for drawing interactive voice response (IVR) system network diagrams. Use these icons to develop, operate and maintain the IVR systems for inbound and outbound call centers and voice mail systems.
"Interactive voice response (IVR) is a technology that allows a computer to interact with humans through the use of voice and DTMF tones input via keypad. ...
DTMF decoding and speech recognition are used to interpret the caller's response to voice prompts. DTMF tones are entered via the telephone keypad.
Two main varieties of speech recognition are used in IVR: that based upon predefined grammars (used in "directed" dialogues), and that based on statistically trained language models (used in "natural language" dialogues). ...
Other technologies include using Text-To-Speech (TTS) to speak complex and dynamic information, such as e-mails, news reports or weather information. ...
An IVR can be deployed in several ways:
(1) Equipment installed on the customer premises.
(2) Equipment installed in the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network).
(3) Application service provider (ASP) / Hosted IVR.
IVR can be used to provide a more sophisticated voice mail experience to the caller. ...
An automatic call distributor (ACD) is often the first point of contact when calling many larger businesses. ...
Interactive voice response can be used to front-end a call center operation by identifying the needs of the caller." [Interactive voice response. Wikipedia]

"DTMF decoding and speech recognition are used to interpret the caller's response to voice prompts. DTMF tones are entered via the telephone keypad.
Two main varieties of speech recognition are used in IVR: that based upon predefined grammars (used in "directed" dialogues), and that based on statistically trained language models (used in "natural language" dialogues). Directed dialogues prompt the caller with specific questions or options. Natural language dialogues employ open questions (e.g. "How can I help you?"), are more conversational, and can interpret free-form responses.
Other technologies include using Text-To-Speech (TTS) to speak complex and dynamic information, such as e-mails, news reports or weather information. TTS is computer generated synthesized speech that is no longer the robotic voice traditionally associated with computers. Real voices create the speech in fragments that are spliced together (concatenated) and smoothed before being played to the caller." [Interactive voice response. Wikipedia]

"Interactive Messaging Response (IMR).
As communications have migrated to multimedia so has automation. The introduction of Instant Messaging (IM) in contact centers is starting to take off. Agents can handle up to 6 different IM conversations at the same time and so agent productivity is increasing. IVR technology is being used to automate IM conversations using existing Natural Language Processing software. This is different from email handling as email automated response is typically based on key word spotting. IM conversations are different from email as IM is conversational. The use of text messaging abbreviations and smilies requires different grammars to those currently used for speech recognition. IM is also starting to replace text messaging on multimedia mobile handsets and is expected to become more widely used." [Interactive voice response. Wikipedia]
