Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for improving transaction success rates for voice reminder applications in e-commerce. In one embodiment of the invention, the voice reminder applications in e-commerce utilizes a network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system, which can generate a purchase reminder associated with a recipient's potential purchase. The network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system can also deliver the purchase reminder to a recipient's voicemail and leave a transaction identifier number and a centralized or a recipient-specific call-back phone number to the recipient's voicemail. A recipient can utilize the transaction identifier number, the centralized or the recipient-specific call-back phone number, and optionally a recipient-specific password to make a phone call to retrieve the purchase reminder previously delivered to the recipient's voicemail by the network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system.

Abstract: A network-based text-to-speech (TTS) TagToe alert system is configured to take a user's textual and/or multimedia input to a TagToe user interface to schedule delivery of text-to-speech-converted TagToe information to one or more telephone call recipients. The text-to-speech converted TagToe information optionally includes e-commerce specific, location-specific, and/or product-specific information which may be presented to the one or more call recipients as additional voice information or interactive voice response (IVR) information. The TagToe alert system can be configured to provide an advanced level of integration between IP telephony and electronic transactions and online services for optimized efficiency and improved revenue to e-commerce.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for generating commissions from e-commerce transaction assistance provided by a network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system. The network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system takes a user's textual and/or multimedia input from a user interface to schedule delivery of text-to-speech-converted information as a reminder call to a user once the user's desired time or an event for the reminder delivery is reached. If the delivered reminder call is associated with a particular e-commerce transaction, then the network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system is capable of taking a user feedback for authorization of the particular e-commerce transaction over an IVR interface during the reminder call or an online calendar interface.
