Page Views

Written by Megan Jones

Only 11% of the contact centres we questioned in our poll are currently using Speech Recognition Technology, but the more damning statistic we have found is that seven out of that 11% found the technology to be unreliable.

However, 50% of participants did admit that the technology may have some potential in the future, with only 28% stipulating that they would never use it.
