Interactive Voice Recognition (IVR) is computer technology that offers automated secure payment by phone by replacing human interaction within call centers. A phone system offers voice prompts that route calls to an IVR system instead of utilizing live customer service operators. An IVR system can handle huge loads of calls that would otherwise require substantial man hours.
Implementing IVR Solutions For Charity allows mobile phone users to make donations simply by texting a keyword (that pertains to the charity) to an SMS shortcode (shortcodes are easier to remember than regular phone numbers). Donors would then receive a confirmation text message for tax purposes.
