IVR Voice Messaging
IVR Applications Using Voice XML

IVR Voice XML Application Services

Database Systems Corp. (DSC) is a leading provider of computer telephony products including interactive voice response solutions using XML and VXML technology.

What Is IVR and VXML?

ivr voice messaging
    VoiceXML (VXML) is a format for specifying interactive voice dialogues between a human and a computer. This standard allows IVR and voice applications to be developed and deployed in a way similar to how HTML is used for web applications. Systems employing this technology are sometimes referred to as Voice Portals.

    A common implementation is to deploy banks of voice browsers attached to the public switched telephone network so that users can use a telephone to interact with voice applications.
Our phone messaging services with VXML messaging lets you automatically send calls from your computer system to our phone systems using VoiceXML Push logic. Our phone systems can automatically access information from your computer systems and web servers using XML pull logic, retrieving web information and converting this to voice.

Alerts can be automatically broadcast to systems administrators or to an entire department based upon an external event such as a power failure or system failure. Other applications may be as simple as wakeup calls or weather alerts that are triggered automatically from your own computer systems or websites.

XML Pull Data Access

Database Systems Corp. supports XML Pull and Web Information Access logic that enables our PACER phone system to make external requests for information via the internet. Using this technique, callers can be given information maintained anywhere on the web. Using our Text To Speech application software, text information can be retrieved via discreet messages to other web sites (or servers) and this information converted into a phone message that is automatically played to the caller. Virtually any type of information can now be relayed to a caller using our phone system.



Arlington Transit



ART - Arlington Transit operates within Arlington County, Virginia, supplementing Metrobus with smaller, neighborhood-friendly vehicles and providing access to Metrorail and Virginia Railway Express (VRE). Most of ART's state-of-the ART buses operate on clean-burning natural gas; all have climate control to keep you comfortable and dependable schedules to keep you on time." - www.commuterpage.com

ART uses our IVR application technology including XML push to assist commuters waiting for bus service. While waiting for bus service, callers can use their cell phone to call an 800 number published at a bus stop. They enter the bus stop number on the phone keypad and our service sends a query to a central dispatch website retrieving information about the next bus to arrive at this particular stop. Data is pushed to our phone system using VXML protocol and is converted using our text to speech program. This message in turn is played to the caller, giving them the approximate time of the next bus arrival.
