Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method for processing user communications is provided. Instructions are received within a call center from a user via a vehicle calling system. A determination as to whether the instructions are correctly received is confirmed by processing the instructions, by providing results of the processed instructions to the user, and by receiving confirmation that the results are correct. The instructions are converted from speech to text upon the confirmation and are subsequently provided to an agent. A communication is received from the agent in response to the instructions and the communication is provided to the user via the vehicle calling system.
