Mida Voice Attendant is an automated attendant solution that that allows callers to be automatically transferred to specific extensions without any manual operation. It uses flexible and configurable IVR interface and a powerful Voice Recognition tool for the recognition of the name or of the office the caller is looking for. It works in SIP VoIP environments, triggering different actions depending from time schedule. All different behaviors are configurable depending on customer needs.

Technology leader Loquendo (www.loquendo.com) tools are used for Voice Recognition (ASR) and Speech Generation (TTS).

During working time, the system gives a welcome message and, after that, asks for the identifier (name or office, for example) of the person the calling is looking for. Thanks to this information the phone call is forwarded to the destination number while a courtesy message is sent to the caller.

In case the called number is busy or not answering, different actions may be put in place: message back to the caller, call transfer to Voice Mail or to a different number, call parking (activation of a specific queue waiting for called number availability, while an information message is sent back to the caller).

All these different behavior may be configured directly by your customer.

Out of working time, the system send a message to the caller related to the working status, and triggers one of the following behaviors, depending on configuration:

  • Courtesy message and hang up
  • Call transfer to an external number
  • Call Transfer to Voice Mail

Easy to use WEB interface is available for configuration and management of the system; powerful statistics to check system behavior are available in an automatic way. Main capabilities of WEB configuration interface are:

  • Generate new custom voice messages according to customers needs
  • Change working time schedule parameters
  • Configure the right system behavior in case particular conditions happen
  • Keep simple directory lists, without need of experts in Voice Recognition Tools Grammatik
