Abstract
A modular interactive voice recognition ('IVR') overlay system and a method of processing calls. The system provides an application server, a plurality of agent workstations and a graphical user interface ('GUI') to allow a hybrid approach to processing calls using an automated IVR and live agents. The system and method allow a single agent to process multiple calls simultaneously and is compatible with existing IVR systems and can be implemented as an add-on to existing IVR systems.
