In 1985, Voice Response Inc. ( formerly Call-It Co ) a subsidiary of Lee Enterprises, Davenport IA, entered the fast growing Interactive Voice ( IVR ) response market under the direction of Bob Ross, President. http :// www. fundinguniverse. com / company-histories / Lee-Enterprises-Inc-Company-History. html About a year later, VRI introduced one of the first " successful " IVR applications that utilized voice recognition ( rather than touch tone ) to capture caller responses.

VRI discovered that hesitation ( delayed response ) signaled caller confusion or misunderstanding which often resulted in an inaccurate response.

VRI found that the confidence level of a " suspect " caller response could be increased by asking " Did you say ( Chicago ), Yes or No ", a standard queston heard in order taking or reservation making IVR applications today.

* Video relay service and video remote interpreting ( VRI ) services also use a third-party telecommunication service to allow a deaf or hard-of-hearing person to communicate quickly and conveniently with a hearing person, through a sign language interpreter.

VRI pioneering applications, including subscription fulfillment for Time-Life Magazine, proved faster and less expensive than call centers using live operators and although VRI did not survive, their voice recognition processes became industry standards and VRI's patent USPTO-patent RE34, 587 was eventually licensed by Intel / Dialogic and Nuance.
