  • Patent number: 8594281
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for providing a customer service system are provided. In some examples, the customer service system may include a telephone interface and may recognize both speech responses (e.g., voice commands) and/or touch tone responses. The system may include one or more rules for identifying options based on received user input. In some examples, the options provided based on touch tone input may be different from those based on received speech input. In some examples, the speech responses may be determined to meet a confidence threshold in order to progress to the next menu level or set of options. The confidence threshold may be adjusted and/or may be different or customizable for different menu options, levels, and the like.
