If you ever made calls to all those toll free numbers that starts with 1800(India) or 800 (for USA) and so on… ? What you hear ? A very pleasant voice, “Welcome to …” Then you are prompted to press some key on your phone, or you are asked to say your reason of the call. It also gives a list of options and how to choose the options. Or you might get to hear a background music while the “Lady” at the other end is talking! Do you realize, you are not talking to a lady, but to a machine ? Never thought like that ? Well indeed you talk to a Machine, and you are actually interacting with a very, intelligent machine with a very pleasant voice, who never gets angry, upset, only feel sorry when she does not understand you ( your voice or your key, happens often though) and she says that she could not understand and let you try again and again. Wish you had such a woman as your girl friend or wife? Now you have realized that intelligent lady is called IVRS – Interactive Voice Response System. How crude! Such a lovely machine and such a technical sounding name!
