Call Center Software detects answering machines.November 12, 2012 -
With AMD for Asterisk, call center system can quickly analyze every dialed call to accurately determine if it should be connected to agent. Using neural network algorithms, solution delivers answering machine detection accuracy at levels of 95% in under 300 ms and nearly 98% in under 2 seconds. AMD functions can be applied to TDM and SIP-based VoIP calls to provide implementation flexibility in mixed-technology environments that are commonly found in many call center operations.
