GM Voices Announces Partnership with SpeechStorm
ALPHARETTA, Ga. (PRWEB) May 27, 2014 -- GM Voices, the world’s largest producer of professionally-recorded voice prompts for automated technologies, today announced its partnership with SpeechStorm, a leader in voice and mobile customer experience applications based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The companies will work together to develop locally-authentic voice persona recordings in multiple languages as SpeechStorm introduces its innovative self-service Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and contact center solutions to new international markets.
Corresponding with strategic growth and customer opportunities, GM Voices and SpeechStorm will first develop language solutions in Spanish and French. Additional languages and dialects are being pre-planned on SpeechStorm’s solution roadmap; one heavily focused on internationalization and enhanced customer service across a host of IVR, speech and mobile applications.
“SpeechStorm has been on our radar for quite some time as a voice self-service mover and shaker,” said Marcus Graham, CEO of GM Voices. “They’re setting a new standard for IVR personalization, and adding GM Voices’ comprehensive translation and localization, voice recording and persona development expertise to the equation is a no-brainer as they expand their international footprint.”
GM Voices first met and collaborated with SpeechStorm at Genesys’ G-Force Barcelona event in 2009, where GM Voices exhibited as a Genesys partner vendor and SpeechStorm attended as a provider of pre-built and configurable applications for the Genesys Voice Platform (GVP). At subsequent G-Force conferences in the US and Europe, GM Voices helped SpeechStorm demonstrate unique voice self-service functionality through creative audio scenarios called VisionClips.
SpeechStorm will recommend GM Voices as its partner of choice to customers who require recorded prompts for their voice applications to ensure the best possible customer experience for their end users. Such recorded prompts include concatenated prompts, where multiple pre-recorded elements are combined, automatically, to read back dynamic information, such as account numbers, balance amounts, dates and times, providing a more natural-sounding customer experience.
SpeechStorm CEO, Oliver Lennon, said, “Language, voice talent and tone are essential parts of the customer experience and getting them right is even more important with personalized solutions. This partnership will add great value for our customers and the timing could not be better as we expand rapidly into new global markets. Using GM Voices’ professional recordings will ensure that our solutions maintain their standard of excellence, no matter where and with what customer or audience we engage. The world really is our oyster through this tie-up!”
