System and method for facilitating call routing using speech recognition
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for optimizing prompts for a speech-enabled application, the method comprising:
- presenting a plurality of prompt alternatives to one or more users;
analyzing the responses for each prompt alternative based on one or more performance criteria; and
implementing one of the prompt alternatives based on said analyzing;
wherein one or more of the prompt alternatives comprise a combination of prompts and wherein the method further comprises determining the order in which to present the prompts in the combination.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method is described for optimizing prompts for a speech-enabled application. The speech-enabled application is operable to receive communications from a number of users and communicate one or more prompts to each user to illicit a response from the user that indicates the purpose of the user'"'"'s communication. The method includes determining a number of prompt alternatives (each including one or more prompts) to evaluate and determining an evaluation period for each prompt alternative. The method also includes automatically presenting each prompt alternative to users during the associated evaluation period and automatically recording the results of user responses to each prompt alternative. Furthermore, the method includes automatically analyzing the recorded results for each prompt alternative based on one or more performance criteria and automatically implementing one of the prompt alternatives based on the analysis of the recorded results.
