VoicePort Goes Live at the Daily Camera

The Daily Camera of Boulder, Colorado implements speech self-service through VoicePort.

Pittsford, NY (PRWEB) January 24, 2007 -- Daily Camera in Boulder, Colorado went live today with VoicePort's speech recognition application, CircPort. With a daily circulation of 33,000, the E.W. Scripps newspaper has selected the hosted version of the application which will handle routine circulation phone calls such as reporting delivery problems, placing vacation holds, and checking account status.

VoicePort has completely integrated CircPort with Daily Camera's PBS database. The newspaper will use the application to field overflow and after-hour phone calls, thereby eliminating hold times and increasing their level of customer service to 24/7/365. Additional phases of implementation will offer subscribers the opportunity to make payments to their account, sign up for easy pay, or start a new subscription.

"The VoicePort solution will allow our subscribers to reach us whenever it is convenient to them, increasing customer satisfaction and retention."
