Enhancing Your Auto Attendant with Speech Keywords

Speech Keywords allow a caller to verbally choose an option when they reach an Auto Attendant instead of pressing keys to make a selection. 

Why Use Speech Keywords?

Adding multiple keywords for each option ensures that callers can ask for the same thing differently, making the system more user-friendly.

Hands-free Navigation 
Callers can interact without touching their phones.

Enhanced Accessibility
Makes your system more inclusive for all users.

Intuitive Interaction
Creates a more natural way to navigate your phone system.

Keyword Examples 
Directory Menu, Pricing, Buy, Sales, Product Information, Support, Find, Search, Billing
