From Menus to Meaning
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems have long served as the front line of customer communication. But today’s users want more than “Press 1 for Sales.” They demand intuitive, human-like interactions. That’s where Natural Language Processing (NLP) meets IVR — and Opentact delivers this fusion seamlessly.
Opentact’s cloud communications platform empowers you to design, deploy, and manage smart IVRs that understand natural language, offer real-time responses, and route calls with unmatched precision.
🧠 What Is a Smart IVR with NLP?
A smart IVR goes beyond traditional DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) inputs and interprets spoken words and phrases using NLP. Instead of listening to a robotic menu, callers can speak naturally:
“I’d like to check my balance.” “Can I talk to tech support?” “I need to cancel my order.”
The NLP engine parses these inputs and intelligently routes the call or initiates automated workflows — no button-pressing required.
