"The company is able to focus on applications, as it is not a speech recognition company.....This focus has allowed TuVox to land customers such as Tivo as well as other category leaders such as Handspring and Activision.....Perhaps the most impressive part of the system is how a user programs it. It has the ability to be fed vast amounts of information from archived documents such as a Web-based library of support documentation."

January 2002 Customer Interaction Management: Hearing Voices
- DestinationCRM.com
...contact centers will begin to acknowledge and embrace self-service, either via the Web with improved search and natural language interfaces, or via the telephone with stronger interactive voice response support that goes beyond simple menu navigation. The value proposition of self-service in terms of cost-effectiveness is too compelling not to be incorporated as part of an overall CIM strategy. Advances in the ease of authoring of self-service content, ease of finding of information, and integration of self-service more seamlessly with back-end transaction systems will help facilitate adoption. On the voice side, the concept of voice portals will begin to mature in terms of front ends to customer management solutions.
