  Many application developers are adding automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech (TTS) technology to their IVR platforms, as speech is now a proven technology for providing a more effective IVR interface.

A panel of industry experts will discuss how these two trends are creating significant opportunity for contact center system developers.
